Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
(London), Bloomsbury, (1999). The uncorrected proof copy of the third Harry Potter book. Inscribed by Rowling on the dedication page, where the printed text reads "? dedication" and has been circled by Rowling with an arrow pointing to her words: "To Thomas, with very best wishes, J.K. Rowling." She has also added an "X" under her name. After the third book, Bloomsbury did not issue prepublication proofs. This is the second issue of the Azkaban proof, in green and white wrappers, with 316 pages (although the rear cover states the pagination at 256 pages.) Reportedly there were only 50 copies of the first issue purple proof, and some greater number of the green proof, but the green proof doesn't appear to be any more common on the market. This copy has been read: handling in evidence on rear cover; spine creases; and corner creases to front cover. Very good in wrappers. Uncommon, and especially so signed. [#027845] SOLD
