Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

This is an unread copy in exceptional condition. A fine copy, with sharp edges and an incredibly square and tight binding with no bowing to the front wrapper. The page edges are white and crisp, no internal writing or marks of any kind. An incredible rare piece of history for any Harry Potter collector.
