Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Complete set of the Harry Potter collector's deluxe editions. First deluxe editions, first impressions. Produced for the gift book market, the deluxe Harry Potters remain much sought after by collectors, being larger than their trade counterparts, handsomely cased in full cloth, stamped in gilt with the author's signature on the front covers, and featuring the cover art of the trade editions in the form of pictorial onlays.Bloomsbury introduced the format when it published Azkaban in trade and deluxe on 8 July 1999. Retrospective deluxe editions of the first two books followed that September. The remaining titles were published in deluxe a few months after the trade editions, aside from Deathly Hallows, which appeared in both formats on 21 July 2007.
