This is true for so many collectible books out there, it's sad that sellers do not explain or even know if they are selling a first printing. It is difficult because each publisher and each book has its own first printing points, but as always, buyer beware. Thank you for posting this and sharing your knowledge with us!

I bought a full set of the 7 books. HBP and DH first editons, for 50 dollars. This video helped me understand that it's not rare at all, but still a good deal.

I was at the bookstore earlier today and picked up a copy of OOTP because I didn't have the Bloomsbury version and had all the others and it was driving me nuts. So when I saw it in the secondhand section for 9 euros I thought 'might as well'. It was wrapped in see through foil so when I opened it at home I checked the print and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a first print. Really boosted my mood.

Wonderful collection and videos. You can really see your passion for collecting. Is your first edition hardcover the same one from your video in 2016? The library copy? If that is a restoration, that looks really well done. I collect books as well, but my tastes are a bit more all over the place, though I do have a HP 1st, its just the paperback.

That is, which one is more valuable? Thank you SO MUCH!!

Hey just wondering you may have covered this in a video already that’d be great to know.. but is there a difference in value or like rearness for where they are printed and like what’s best

I have a first edition 8th print of The Philosophers Stone. I think it’s really cool because it shows a younger Dumbledore on the spine which was later reprinted with an older Dumbledore. I’m not sure if I would ever consider selling it though because I think it holds more personal value to me than monetary value. 😊

I have a curiosity question, I have the green hardback, with gold trim and lettering, Prisoner of Azkaban first run (copy) The print page has the full Joanne Rowling name, but in the first story page, the 'burnt' word is correctly in mid sentence. Can you clarify this?

Do you read any of them start to finish when you get them? Atleast the english ones? Or do you not read them to save them from creasing the book?

How did you get those rare editions I can only dream of having 😭 can I visit you?

I'm a huge fan of yours.

You forgot to mention that there are technically two first printings of Goblet of Fire. A smaller number of them were printed in Scotland, which is the one you showed us in the video. I'm guessing a Goblet of Fire printed in Scotland is a bit more valuable than one printed in England.

I bought the 1st and 2nd editions of her books. But I bought them in the United states. the first one was not very much, but the 2nd one cost $50.00 because she signed first sheet. I do not know if they would be worth anything now.

I have all of these

my philosphers stone book is a 22nd printing (30 down to 22) would that have been from 1997? it says 1997 on the copyright page but im pretty sure if my memory is right that i got it much later new.

To be valuable does it have to be a hardback? I have a 1st edition but paperback for all of them.
