Signed. A near-fine, signed first edition of the fourth Harry Potter book by J.K. Rowling, recounting Harry's adventures during the Triwizard Tournament and featuring perhaps the most terrifying encounter with Lord Voldemort from all the series. This book was the first of the author's works to significantly increase in length, a trend carried on through the subsequent three Harry Potter titles, much to the delight of children and the horror of some bedtime-reading parents...

First edition, first impression, signed by the author on the dedication page; 8vo (207 x 126 mm, 8¼ x 5 in); staff purchase receipt from Books, etc. loosely inserted with the shop bag, the now usual slight age-toning but otherwise fine; publisher's pictorial boards, matching dust-jacket, a hint of rubbing, otherwise fine.

A copy of her original receipt for the book, and a Books Etc. bag is included).
