First edition, early 13th UK Bloomsbury printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone paired with a first edition, 16hth UK Bloomsbury printing of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, published in 1998. This set comes in an original Bloomsbury “The Harry Potter Gift set” slipcase.
Philosopher’s Stone features the original illustration of the brown-haired young wizard on the reverse and spine, which was replaced by an image of Dumbledore in later printings.
Both books are in excellent condition. Bindings are firm. There is an inscription to the first free endpaper of both books, otherwise the interiors are clean with bright pages. No Dust Jackets. The slipcase is in excellent condition.
A very attractive Harry Potter gift set comprising two early first editions.
