J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – SIGNED Green Proof with signing photo and supporting documentation
£20,000.00
A signed copy of the English Proof of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in green wrappers, printed by Bloomsbury on wove paper in 1999. There were two issues of a proof for the third Harry Potter book. The state here, in green wrappers, is closer to the published version. Errington notes “an unconfirmed print-run of 250 copies is generally accepted… Bloomsbury, however, provides a figure of 150 copies” (pp. 470-1). This copy SIGNED on the dedication page (without dedication) by Rowling. The copy was signed at Waterstones, Newcastle on Monday 10th July 2000. A letter confirming the signing from Rosamund de la Hey, Head of Children’s Sales and Marketing at Bloomsbury is included, signed to the previous owner on a headed letter and details Rowling’s arrival in a Rolls Royce to the venue. Also included is an original photo of Rowling at the signing, as well as promotional material for the release of ‘Azkaban’ from Bloomsbury (pictured). Copies of the proof seldom appear on the market. Signed copies with supporting material are exceptionally rare.
