About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Arthur A. LeVine Books/Scholastic, Inc., 2015. Book. Illus. by Jim Kay. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. A square solid tight carefully read copy. This copy has some VERY LIGHT soil to the front board else fine. Illustrated end papers front and rear, sewn in marker. The priced jacket has some lightish edge wear and what looks like a razor cut about two inches long, probably by a shelf stocker at a B&N when opening the new box of books. Still a nice copy, even with the above, of a very hard to find first printing that is looking for a HP collection to join. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY. I repeat......a pretty nice copy of a title that is sneaking up on 20 printings already. .
