Near fine dust jacket with some minor wrinkling along the top back edge. Book 6 of the Harry Potter series. "eleven 'outstanding' O.W.L.s." on page 100. (corrected to ten in later printings); and the last page is 652. (Rather than 672) First-printing error copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince—ending incorrectly on page 652 rather than the standard 672—represent a short-lived state from the earliest portion of the 2005 American print run. These mispagination copies were corrected quickly, making them notably scarcer than standard First/Firsts. Examples with tight bindings, bright pages, and unclipped First State dust jackets remain especially desirable to Rowling collectors and modern fantasy specialists. No names. A beautiful, clean, bright copy. Overweight. May cost more to ship.
