First edition

Up for sale is a rare "Double Misprint" Australian First Edition hardcover copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003). This copy features two highly sought-after early-press printing errors: The Ink Transfer Smudge: A distinct mirror-image ink smudge opposite the title page, caused by the book being bound before the ink fully dried during the rushed initial print run. The 766 Blank Ending: The numbered pages conclude abruptly on page 766, followed by unnumbered blank pages at the very back. Dust Jacket: Present. Please note there is noticeable sun fading/paleness to the spine text, which is very common for this edition. The jacket is otherwise intact with no major rips. A fantastic, unique and sought after addition for any Harry Potter misprint or error collector.
