About Potter Rare Books

Expert Knowledge, Driven by Obsession

Potter Rare Books was founded by Mike Rawson. Mike started out solely as a collector of Harry Potter rare and signed books as well as the different authorised translations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Mike’s expertise and obsession with Harry Potter books led him to start a retail business buying and selling books. Potter Rare Books was born and the rest is history.

Mike is well known in the Harry Potter book circles as very particular when it comes to a book’s condition. He makes an effort to only buy books in the very best condition possible. If Mike lists a book as in fine or pristine condition, you can guarantee the book you’ll receive is perfect. Any flaws with the book, even the smallest of blemishes will be detailed in the description accompanied by an extensive gallery of photos showing the book and dust jacket from all angles.
