The First Canadian printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, published by Raincoast with its striking plain blue boards, is considered to be one of the scarcest Harry Potter books ever appeared. To the best of our knowledge and based on consultations we had with several reputable Harry Potter bookcollectors, it is known that only 9 (!) other copies of this exceptionally rare book have surfaced in the market over the past two decades. According to very well-known experts there are no copies with a print line 10-1, which indicates that a first Canadian edition has a print line 10-2.
This ultra rare book is sold as part of a Full set of the first Canadian printings of the Harry Potter series, two signed books included with a Letter of Autenticity by the only J.K. Rowling signature expert Adam Houston of TheHarryPotterSpecialist. All books are in a fine or near pristine condition. A PDF file with extensive documentation about this set is available on request.
