Near pristine First Canadian edition, first printing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, signed on the title page in back felt-tip pen. This association copy was signed on 23 October 2007 in one of the green rooms backstage at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto for Geoffrey E. Taylor, the artistic director of the International Festival of Authors. Taylor arranged Rowling’s 2007 visit to Canada and was only the second director of the festival’s 40-year history.
Signed copies of the Canadian editions are extremely rare to find. This is the only Canadian signed copy of Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix we have ever seen.
The top and bottom left corners of the spine have a small dent; otherwise, the book and dust jacket are in a pristine unread condition. Housed in a beautiful custom-made half-leather clamshell box and accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LoA) from Adam Houston (TheHarryPotterSpecialist), the world's sole expert on J.K. Rowling's signature, along with an informative collector's card providing additional details. In his LoA Adam Houston mentiones that this is also for him the only signed copy of this title he has ever observed.
An exceptionally rare and highly collectible signed Harry Potter book.
