Description

ROWLING, J K; HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (DELUXE EDITION, WITH WATERCOLOUR SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR); illustrated by WRIGHT, CLIFF; pub by BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC; LONDON; 1999; FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING; 8vo; Decorated Cloth.

This beautifully presented volume comprises the First Edition First Printing of the Deluxe Edition of J K Rowling's Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, with a special extra. The illustrator of the cover of the book has added his own personal touch on the dedication page. Open the volume, and you will find Harry Potter in a quiet moment with the hippogriff which he befriends. The watercolour painting is extremely fine and delicate and is a real delight to behold. This volume is a unique work. A complete one-off, the volume was done by the original artist on commission.
The illustrators of the Harry Potter series have painted a handful of books in this way - and no painting design is repeated anywhere else. Other bookdealers are offering these rare painted books at more than twice the price that I am offering this one for. Why am I offering these to you so cheaply? That's easy - because I have closed down my book dealership, and I have only a handful of books left, which I am now offering as a private seller. I am offering these books at the price I paid for them. You will not find them cheaper anywhere else. I recently showed these books to famous international bookdealer Adrian Harrington. He confirmed that these were the very books that he had originally commissioned the artists to paint. He sold the books some time ago, and then they were sold on to me when the purchaser needed to cash in his investment quickly. Adrian is offering these books for at least twice the price. This is the trade price for these books. You will not find them anywhere else at this amazingly low price. You can only win!

For those wanting something extremely special for their collection, this book is it. The book is in NEAR FINE condition, in a custom made box which looks marvellous. The box is lined with crushed velvet. The book is the first state volume, with 'Joanne Rowling' printed on the edition page. This is one of the most rare of the Deluxe Edition volumes, having had a shorter print run than the others. This is a spectacular volume that make someone very happy indeed! TOBO ID 6812.
