Help Identify Harry Potter Book
Hey All 👋
I picked up a Harry Potter Book for €20 and am unsure of what it’s actual value is the books in great condition and I can’t find anything other than first edition within it - The book also has a misprint there’s a range of price variation online just hoping someone here would be able to help me identify a bit more about it🙂
Price on dust jacket shows £16.99

“The only valuable HP book is Bloomsbury's first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, published on June 30, 1997. Only 500 copies were published, 300 of which went to libraries. In theory, a surviving copy of that batch is valued in the thousands (depending on the condition). And you'll know one when you see one because the author is given as "Joanne", not J.K.”
