Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Bloomsbury, 1998


8vo (198 by 127mm.), UNCORRECTED PROOF COPY, original printed wrappers in white and blue, SEPARATE PROOF SHEET OF PROPOSED ILLUSTRATED DUST-JACKET, creases to proof sheet as usual


A MINT COPY OF THE PROOF OF THE SECOND HARRY POTTER NOVEL. The text was slightly re-set for the first English edition. Errington notes that "an unconfirmed print-run of 300 copies is generally accepted… Bloomsbury is unable to provide accurate figures and has merely suggested between 200 and 300 copies". The proof sheet of the proposed dust-jacket is rarely present.


LITERATURE:

Errington, Rowling AA2(a)
