London: Bloomsbury, 2001, 2001, 2008. [Harry Potter] FIRST EDITIONS BOX SET. Three volumes (two paperback originals, one hardcover). Housed in a bespoke collector's folding box, fleece-lined within and titled in gilt to spine. The box is designed to complement the deluxe cloth editions of the Harry Potter series (external dimensions 24cm x 16cm). A fine, as-new set. A charitable publication issued in March 2001 (for Comic Relief), being amusing replicas of school textbooks borrowed from Hogwarts Library. The final volume, which has been mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published in hardback in 2008 (with proceeds again to a charity, Lumos), following the auction of a manuscript version which was bought by Amazon in 2007 for a world-record $3million.
