A complete set of all seven Harry Potter titles in their original hardback editions, bringing together first printings of each book in the series.
Six volumes are UK Bloomsbury hardback first editions, first printings. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is represented by the scarce first printing produced by Bloomsbury for the Australian market. With the UK hardback first printing now commanding a substantial five-figure price, this Australian issue offers collectors an attractive and considerably more affordable alternative: a genuine Bloomsbury first edition, first printing in hardback, issued in a dust jacket.
All seven volumes are protected in removable archival Brodart covers.
