A stunning copy of Rowling's first installment in the beloved fantasy series. Here we see Harry escape the Dursley's for the first time, and his first run-in with Voldemort. The series has captured the imagination of a generation, and launched several popular film adaptations of the books. First editions of the American version of the first book are becoming increasingly difficult to find. A name on the free front endpaper; the jacket has its original bookstore price sticker on the rear panel (price of $16.95, dated 11/03/98).
