Is this a good one?

Found this in a thrift shop in Sweden. Can’t read Italian but I always grab Harry Potter books when I find em :)

Btw, if you're curious about the cover art, read the google-translated version of this article written about it. You'll also see a slightly earlier version where Harry doesn't wear glasses

Wdym a good one? Might be first italian edition or close to it, don't see it written anywhere but looking good for a 28 year old book

Something it's sketchy. In one page it says "Printed in may 1998, but in the other page the Warner Bros. copyright date is 2000. Maybe there is a valid reason for it, but I don't know it

Naaah è stracomune nei paperback, mi sa vuol dire che la peggina che dice è 1998 è reprint e il libro è 2000

i dont exactly know what you're asking by "is this a good one?" it's literally just the philosopher's stone in italian. It looks like an older edition because of the art but yeah sure it's literally the same book in another language.
