First edition, second impression of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, signed by J.K. Rowling in black pen on the dedication page. The book was signed at Durbay Books on Grafton Street, Dublin, during a private visit J.K. Rowling made in early 1999. At the owner's request, she signed a few copies, one of which was sold that same day to an American tourist, who kept the book for the last 25 years.
With a print run of only 200 copies (See J.K. Rowling A Bibliography, Phillip W. Errington, Bloomsbury 2017, p. 68) the second impression of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a very scarce book. While signed first impressions of this title are regularly offered, a signed copy of a second printing hardly ever surfases the market.
A near fine copy with minor bumped spine ends and corner tips. Inside clean pages, mildly browned to the edges as usual, wIthout dog-ears or scribblings. The book comes in a near fine first State Dust Jacket.
Fully authenticated by Adam Houston of Theharrypotterspecialist. Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and collectors card with interesting details included.
