Rowling, J.K. (2015) ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, signed first illustrated edition

J.K. Rowling (2015) ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, UK first illustrated edition, first printing, published by Bloomsbury. Signed twice by the award-winning illustrator Jim Kay. Signed on the half-title page with the added ‘With Warm Wishes’ and also remarqued with a self-designed dragon stamp on the front free endpaper. Signed once more on the title page with no further inscriptions. Bloomsbury has underestimated the demand for the illustrated Harry Potter edition, so that the first volume is considerably scarcer in its first printing than the illustrated ‘Chamber of Secrets’ and ‘Prisoner of Azkaban’ first print volumes.

Condition: fine as pictured.

A landmark children’s book that does not need any introduction.
