Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The book presented here is an authentically signed first UK edition, first printing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The book was signed at Perth Railway Station on July 11th, 2000, three days following the publication of the book, as part of her Hogwarts Express Book Tour which lasted 4 days starting at London Kings Cross Station and ending in Perth, Scotland. This book was printed by Omnia Books Limited as were the majority of copies printed in Scotland. By far most UK first printing copies were printed by Clays Ltd.  Omnia printed copies of the first UK edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are particularly uncommon and are extremely hard to find. They command a premium compared to copies printed by Clays.

This particular copy still appears unread, with a square and tight binding and hardly any toning/browning to the page edges as you would usually see. Overall this is a near fine copy due to some bumping to the spine tip and base as well as some fading to the very top of the spine. Internally, there are no ownership inscriptions, stamps, tears or dog eared pages. The dust jacket is in fine condition with no creases and no colour fading at all.

The signature comes fully authenticated by Adam Houston ‘The Harry Potter Specialist’ the world’s leading expert in authenticating J.K. Rowling’s signature. This copy comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity, collector card and letter of provenance from the original owner Kirsty.
