The earliest available edition of the first Harry Potter book, following the first impression in pictorial boards and illustrated wrappers by Bloomsbury. Published in May 1998 by The Book People, an independent bookselling company founded in 1988 by Ted Smart. Errington notes that neither Ted Smart nor Bloomsbury were able to supply details regarding the size of the edition, though it is significant in that it appears so early in the chronology of editions, and that it precedes the first printing of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by five months (Scholastic, October 1998).

Signed and Inscribed copies of this title are extremely scarce. Signed by Rowling at her book launch at Waterstones in Aberdeen in 1998. Ex: Bonhams, accompanied by the purchase invoice and tag number. Provenance: Inscribed by the author for the vendor when he was a child. He recalls the circumstances: “It is a primary school teacher named Mrs Pope that is to be thanked for it coming into my possession. She had started reading JK Rowling’s first book (Philosopher’s Stone) to my class just before all the hype started. Before Chamber of Secrets was released JK Rowling held a competition where she had her fans write letters about how much they enjoyed the first book. Her favourite letters would be hand picked and be published in the “Chamber of Secrets”. Everyone in my class entered the competition (along with thousands of other Children). I didn’t win, but a girl in my class named Fiona Chadwick did. You can see her letter reproduced in the back of Chamber. As a result of our classmate winning, my entire class were invited to her book launch at Waterstones in Aberdeen. JK Rowling read us the first 2 chapters of the book. It was magical hearing her give life to her words. I particularly remember her impersonating Dobby. She signed each of my classmates books and left a personal message in the cover of each one. We were all delighted and star struck”. Fiona Chadwick’s letter to J.K Rowling referred to by Jonathan in his account above is now forever published in the back of the Chamber of Secrets. We have included an image of that page in this listing, you can spot it on the left side at the very top. Condition: The book has near fine pictorial boards displaying the same image as on the dust jacket, one of Harry and Ron in flight in their car. The boards have sharp corners and no edgewear. The boards have the nice original sheen and still retain their bright vibrant colors. The binding is tight and square. The end papers are clean. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to the front fly leaf “To Jonathan with best wishes J.K. Rowling”. The internal pages are clean, bright and flat with no stains, no writing, no bent pages, and no foxing. Beautiful, signed book with a fantastic association. Ex: Bonhams. The near fine original first edition dust jacket, with a very slight touch of wear at outer extremities; has but a slight bit of fading along the top edge, and with no fading at all to the spine. The jacket otherwise maintains strong vibrant colors. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of 10.99 British pounds. A very handsome example of this title in extremely scarce collectible condition, presenting very well with the stunning jacket and crisp, clean interior. Would make a great addition to a Harry Potter collection. ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our ABE store for other Harry Potter titles and other Children's rare books.

Description: Joanne Kathleen Rowling (1998) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, UK uncorrected proof dust jacket, published by Bloomsbury. Housed and beautifully presented in a bespoke blue buckram folder with the items description embossed in gold on the front as shown in our images. Condition: near fine. Original and completely unrestored. No tears, no chips. Only creases roughly along the folds. Clean throughout with no ink smudges as sometimes seen. Rowling bibliographer Philip Errington, after researching the Bloomsbury archives, suggests that between 200 and 300 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets uncorrected proof copies have been printed. Of those, very few had a proof dust jacket. Most copies that have sold via reputable auction houses such as Sothebys, Christies or Bonhams are never supplied with the scarce proof dust jacket. The proof dust jacket is different from the wrapper which was later used in the first edition. The printed price is £9.99 rather than £10.99; there is no reference to the Ted Smart Prize and Carnegie Award on the front; and there is a printers edge on the front flap. First and Fine
