ROWLING (J.K.)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. [with] A Bloomsbury bookplate signed by J. K. Rowling.
A rare uncorrected proof copy of the third book in the Harry Potter series, this being the second state in green wrappers rather than purple. “An unconfirmed print run of 250 copies is generally accepted for this proof. Bloomsbury, however, provides a figure of 150.” (Errington).
From the library of Roger Katz, manager of Hatchards book shop Piccadilly from 1991 to 2010, covering the span of the first publications of the Harry Potter books.
Offered with a Bloomsbury bookplate signed by J. K. Rowling, given to Roger Katz by the publishers around the time of publication of the third book.
A very good copy, spine sunned, edges lightly rubbed and faint diagonal crease to lower corner of front wrapper.
Errington, AA4(b).
