Complete set first adult editions of the Harry Potter series (1998-2001), consisting of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
First edition, later prints of the adult editions of the first four titles of the Harry Potter series, published respectively in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. These are the only titles of the first edition that have been published.
Due to the unprecedented phenomenon of adults reading what was initially considered a children’s book, publisher Bloomsbury rebranded the series in 1998 by also releasing an adult version. An important reason for this rebranding was that the bestseller list in newspapers didn't include the book, even though it sold many more copies than any other.( It was included only on the children's list, even when the publisher insisted it wasn't a book solely for children) With these new covers, they tried to change the perception and be included in the bestseller list of fiction books.
All books are in near-fine condition with hardly any damage to the covers, firm bindings, and bright pages without inscriptions or other flaws. A very nice set.
