Harry Potter - Old Adult Cover 4



This is the fourth and final book published with the old adult cover. I bought this book off ebay, but is in quite good condition. All three of versions of the old covers are different, book 3 is gloss and this book has a different spine. I need to find more copies of these books to see if there are matching versions.

Harry Potter - Old Adult Cover 3



I bought this edition off ebay, it unfortunately has an inscription inside. Also this copy seems to have a gloss to the cover whereas the other two old cover editions I have a mat cover. I have never seen another copy of this book in real life so do not know if it comes with a mat cover.

Harry Potter - Old Adult Cover 2




This is one of the original adult covers for the Harry Potter books, they only did these covers for the first four books and then changed to the adult covers they have now. I bought this book in a charity shop in Tring

Harry Potter - French Large Format 7



This is the only book I have in the large format. I bought this book on the Right Bank of the Seine for eight euros. This is also still wrapped up in plastic. I hope soon to return to Paris to try and complete this set. I much prefer the large format to the two French mass market versions.

Harry Potter - Special Edition 7



So far this is the only special edition book that I own. It is a first edition book that I bought from Waterstones Riverside, whilst I was working there. Please forgive the reflection it is still wrapped in cellophane. Due to the cost and the poor conditions or the many versions of this book that I find in the shops, I still need another six to complete the set.

Harry Potter - Large Print 3



This was the second large print book I bought. I bought this book off ebay, unfortunately it has a dedication inside the front cover but aside from that it is good condition. I still need five books to finish the large print collection.

Harry Potter - Large Print 2



I bought this first edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets from Waterstones in Islington. This was my first large print book, before this one I didn't realize they had printed large print versions.
