Captivating the world overnight in 1997, J.K. Rowling's fame would soar beyond expectations with her Harry Potter series. Despite this success, the author rarely signs, and first edition copies of any of her books are incredible scarce. This particular offering is one of the most rare printings of all of the Harry Potter books, a first edition/first printing of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". The initial hardcover print run of the third book in the series was stopped mid-printing after it was discovered that "Joanne Rowling" rather than "J.K. Rowling" had been printed on the copyright pages. Although opinions about the number of copies printed before the errors were spotted vary - however, it seems that only a small number came off the press, which greatly enhances the value. Adding even greater allure to this particular misprinted version is the flourishing autograph from Rowling on the inside page. Between the exceedingly rare version of this book and the generally seldom-seen autograph from the author, this is potentially a one of a kind offering! Book collectors, take note! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
