First edition, first OMNIA printing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, signed by J.K. Rowling in black ink on the dedication page.
Published on 8 July 2000 in a first printing of 750,000 copies, the majority were printed by Clays Ltd. in England, while a much smaller proportion was produced by OMNIA Press in Scotland, primarily for distribution within Rowling's home country. During Rowling's Hogwarts Express promotional tour in the summer of 2000, the overwhelming majority of the books she signed were Clays printings, making signed first-printing OMNIA Press copies considerably scarcer.
A fine, unread copy with bright boards, sharp spine ends, and crisp corner tips. The binding is firm, with none of the splitting between the spine and boards commonly encountered with the OMNIA printing. A very faint production-related stain is present at the lower corners of the front endpaper, originating during the manufacturing process. Otherwise, the endpapers and pages are bright and clean. Free from names, inscriptions, stamps, or any other defects. The dust jacket is likewise in fine condition, with no fading or signs of wear.
The signature has been fully authenticated by J.K. Rowling signature expert Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity.
Housed in a custom-made, exquisitely crafted half-leather clamshell box, providing both elegant presentation and long-term archival protection.
