London, Bloomsbury, 1997

The correct first UK Bloomsbury paperback edition. This copy has all important issue points, with the Wendy Cooling review to the front panel, the Philosopher's printing error to the rear panel, '1 wand' repeated on page 53, and with the correct 10-1 number sequence found on the copyright page and no space between 'r' and '1' on Thomas Taylor 1997.

One of just 5,150 paperback copies of the first impression, published on the same day as the incredibly rare hardback.

First edition, first impression, paperback issue, with '1 wand' repeated on page 53; 8vo; some age-toning to text block (as usual), short closed tear to title, else unmarked internally; original pictorial wrappers by Cliff Wright, Wendy Cooling's review to the lower front cover, and 'philospher's' misspelling to back cover, vertical crease to front cover, light creasing to back cover and centre of spine, mild edge-wear, slight fading to spine, housed in red drop-back box by Temple Bookbinders, gilt lettering to spine.
