About this deal

Be careful to make sure copies are by the first publisher. For all of the Harry Potter books, the first publisher is Bloomsbury. The first three Harry Potter first edition, first print books can be worth thousands of pounds. The value then decreases incrementally with the second, third and fourth prints, and so on. First editions of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" are not particularly valuable because so many were printed Alternatively, you may want to keep your Harry Potter first edition either for sentimental reasons or because a few years down the line as copies become rarer it could be worth substantially more money than it is at the moment. How Much Could Your Harry Potter First Edition Be Worth? We are always interested in buying quality books in our subject areas, from individual titles to complete collections. I might just go as Sarah if I’m feeling brave enough!) Anyway, this post is all about how to tell if you have a Harry Potter First edition set of books.

There are not many of these editions left making them extremely rare, however, even second and third editions of these copies are worth a fair bit of money. There are three other things to look for when trying to determine if you have a Harry Potter First Edition (Philosopher’s Stone) If you’re no longer a Harry Potter fan and want to sell your copy there are several routes you could take depending on the edition and what it might be worth. The first Harry Potter book to be published was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone." Bloomsbury Publishing first printed the book in 1997. A true first edition can be identified using a printing number, which can be found at the very beginning of the book. Bloomsbury Publishing use a reverse number system to identify when a book was printed. If the number ends with one ( for example 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) you may have a first edition Any book signed by J.K Rowing will have a much higher value even if it isn’t an early edition or part of Harry Potter First edition set.A hardcover first edition of ‘Harry Potter and The Chamber Secrets’ will often sell for thousands of pounds. Firstly it’s important to establish what actually constitutes a Harry Potter first edition. As the book series grew in popularity the later books were printed by the millions even on the first print run, so for the final books in the series first editions are not remotely rare. I actually have first editions of both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but sadly they’re not worth anything.

As Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone is the first in series, first editions of this are worth the most so this is what we’ll look at first. To be a first edition, in either hard or soft cover, there are four very important issue points, all of which your book must have:If you think your copy may be worth thousands an independent valuation followed by an auction may the best way of ensuring you get the full value for your Harry Potter First edition. Also, take a good look at the tagline on the front cover of the book. The earliest editions have a quote from Wendy Coolidge which reads “A terrific read and stunning first novel.” Then, later ones have a quote from the Telegraph. Later one again has a Smarties book prize quote. What To Do If You Have A Harry Potter First Edition Set In this post, I’m going to focus on how to tell if you have a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone as that’s the one that’s most likely to be worth some money.

First edition "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" books with laminated pictorial boards that are not bound in cloth and feature a shiny cover are very valuable, as only 500 of these books were printed First edition Harry Potter books have become very valuable. Here is how you can tell if you have an original and what it may be worth: Is it signed? If you have a first edition signed by J. K. Rowling the value of the book can be more than three times higher than an unsigned book! J.K. Rowling is obviously best known as the author of the Harry Potter stories. Rising meteorically from relative poverty and difficulty in Edinburgh to creative super-stardom in an incredibly short space of time it is not too much of a stretch to say that Ms. Rowling has changed the face of publishing, book-selling and indeed reading for millions of people. Nobody is free from the appeal of Harry Potter; from the children the books were originally aimed at to the multitudes of adults craving a little bit more magic that can be seen totally absorbed on the tube in the morning or queuing outside cinemas for the next film installment.

First edition identification

Which book is it? Earlier Harry Potter books are more valuable than later books, so a first edition "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone" will be more valuable than a first edition "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Harry Potter First Editions - Harry Potter at Catch The Snitch - Harry Potter news, books, movies, games, merchandise and more - Adrian Harrington began trading in 1971, as part of Harrington Brothers in the Chelsea Antiques Market on London's fashionable King's Road.
