London, Bloomsbury, 1997
A stunningly bound example of the correct first UK Bloomsbury edition of this children's classic. This copy has the important textual issue points, with '1 wand' repeated on page 53, the correct 10-1 number sequence found on the copyright page, and with no space between 'r' and '1' on Thomas Taylor 1997.
First edition, first impression, with '1 wand' repeated on page 53; 8vo; some age-toning to text block (as usual), else unmarked internally; deluxe red morocco binding by Temple Bookbinders, gilt lettering to spine on a black ground, gilt facsimile signature to upper cover, inset illustration to upper cover, all edges gilded with silver stars, housed in red cloth slipcase.
Errington A1(a).
