Complete set of Harry Potter DELUXE first editions, first printings – FINE

Complete set of first editions, first printings of  the UK DELUXE signature collector's edition.  Cloth boards with inlaid image. Gilt text and edging.

This series was introduced by Bloomsbury in 1999 specifically for collectors. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the first to appear on 8 July 1999, released simultaneously with the trade edition. Later that September, DeLuxe editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets followed. The subsequent volumes were published in 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2007, each released alongside the corresponding trade edition.

Like the trade editions, the first three books feature a number line from 1 to 10, while the later titles are marked ‘First edition’. Notably, Azkaban and Philosopher’s Stone were printed in particularly small first-run quantities. Although the later titles are slightly less scarce, they were still produced in limited numbers and are considered true collector’s items.

Unread in fine condition, all books now protected by removable Brodart Archival bookcovers.
