J. K. Rowling - The Harry Potter Boxed Set - 1997-1999

This is a Bloomsbury edition of "The Harry Potter Boxed Set", featuring J. K. Rowling's first three books, housed in the publisher's original slipcase. The books are all unopened and in Near Fine condition. This early collection is much less common than the later four-book set, and was first released following the publication of Rowling's third book; "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". The boxed collection displays wonderfully on a shelf and it would make a fabulous addition to any decorative library or private collection.
