Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, first edition, first issue [one of only 500], London: Bloomsbury, 1997, hardback, publisher's laminated pictorial boards, print line on copyright page reads '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1'; '1 wand' appears twice on p.53; 'Philosopher's' is misspelled 'Philospher's' to rear cover; 'Wizardry and Witchcraft' [rather than 'Witchcraft and Wizardry'] to rear cover. Contents very good, clean, bright; usual very light toning to page edges; a couple of very tiny nicks to extreme page edges; one small patch of discolouration to fore-edge; one tiny fragment of material attached to p.101; occasional light creases to page corners; gift & owner inscription on front free endpaper, 'To Katie, on our holiday in Clachtoll 1998. Love from Mum & Dad' (see provenance below); binding tight and solid with very faint shelf-lean; boards bold and vibrant; some very faint lifting to the laminate in places; light wear to headcaps/corners; creasing to lower board; a couple of light bumps to edges. The author's debut novel and first in the Harry Potter series. Very scarce. Only 500 copies were printed of this true first issue hardback, and 300 of those were sent to schools and libraries - this being one of the more desirable 200Provenance: The vendor has kindly provided the following account of the book's history:'The Philosopher's Stone was purchased when our three children were quite young. We used to go on holiday to a campsite in Clachtoll in the North West Highlands of Scotland and bedtime reading was meant to be exciting after what may have been a typical summer's dreich day. This book was bought in the local Achins bookshop, the most remote bookshop in mainland Scotland, on a wet and windy day from the sale bin for 50p which perhaps reflected the slow initial uptake. However, they looked forward to the new book every year and Harry Potter became a source of amazement and fascination each holiday on the campsite in Clachtoll. The girls are now aged 27, 29 and 30 and are, thankfully, still regular visitors to the west coast and Highlands. Hopefully one day they will introduce their children to Harry Potter on those stormy west-coast days.'

Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, first edition, hardback, London: Bloomsbury, 2005. This book is one of the original exhibits from a theft and blackmail case involving armed police prior to the release of the novel (see provenance). Six weeks before the eagerly-anticipated publication of the penultimate novel in the Harry Potter series, two copies of the book were stolen from a secure distribution centre in Northamptonshire. An attempt was made to obtain money from two national newspapers by revealing the novel's secrets; one of the journalists involved tried to flee with the books, but the perpetrator fired an imitation Walther PPK pistol in the journalist's direction and was later arrested by armed police. An attempt was also made to blackmail publishers Bloomsbury by revealing the book's contents. The judge delivering sentence was quoted in the media, "It was only through the good services of the press and police that this was prevented and fans of Harry Potter, young and old, were able to read this book without their pleasure being polluted." Contents very good, clean, bright; binding tight and solid; boards bold and vibrant; a couple of light bumps along spine; dust-jacket bold and vibrant with a couple of faint scuffs and knocks along spine.Provenance: Our vendor has provided us with a signed statement outlining their role in the case and confirming that they were presented with this book (one of the two stolen copies) as a reward for their work, together with copies of correspondence from the logistics company and an email from the sales operations manager at Bloomsbury.

Lennon; a permit for the Beatles' trip in April-May 1962, variously dated 27.4.62 and 3 Mai 1962; a permit application date-stamped 24 SEP 1962, with typewritten details, including 'Purpose of Sojourn in the Federal Republic' as To play with a group of Musicians at the Star-Club, Hamburg, relating to the Beatles' two trips in November and December 1962; a Police Residency Permit, dated 24. September 1962; and an application completed in blue and red ballpoints by John for the periods 1st Nov-15th Nov 18 Dec-2nd Jan, dated by John 14th Nov '62, each sheet 8 1/4in x 11 1/2in (21cm x 29cm)Footnotes:The Beatles' first visit to Hamburg, in 1960, came about thanks to Liverpool promoter Allan Williams, who had connected with Bruno Koschmider, owner of the Kaiserkeller night club and other venues in Hamburg's red-light district. Williams had sent several Liverpool groups over to Hamburg and Koschmider needed another to play at a new club he was opening, the Indra. Williams offered the Silver Beatles (as they were known then) the opportunity to fill the bill. However, they lacked a permanent drummer, but just two days before they were to leave for Hamburg, they offered Pete Best the job. On the 15th August, the newly-christened Beatles left for Germany with all their equipment in Allan Williams' van, arriving in Hamburg some 36 hours later. John's passport had had to be hastily obtained and this was issued on the 15th August, as is recorded on several of the documents offered here. The arrangement of work-permits had been left to Koschmider, who apparently overlooked this formality, and thus were applied for after the Beatles had arrived in Hamburg, as documents in this lot attest.The Beatles' contract with Koschmider originally ran from 17th August to 16th October. They were required to play for 4 1/2 hours every weekday night and six on both Saturday and Sunday, a pretty gruelling schedule. This contract was then extended to 31st December. However, at the end November George was ordered to leave the country after it had become clear to the authorities that he was under 18 and, according to German law, was not allowed to stay or work in a night club after midnight. At the same time, Paul and Pete went to the squalid 'digs' provided by Koschmider, two tiny rooms just behind the screen of a small cinema he owned, and in order to provide some light in the darkened, closed premises, the two Beatles set light to a wall hanging. They packed their belongings in order to take up the offer of new employment and accommodation in a rival club, the Top Ten, and left the smouldering tapestry. Koschmider was then informed that the Beatles had tried to set fire to the cinema and he went to the police. Paul, Pete, John and bassist Stuart Sutcliffe were soon arrested and put in the cells. When it was clear that John and Stuart were innocent, they were allowed to go but Paul and Pete were deported on a flight back to London on 1st December. John and Stuart visited the police station on 6th December, to provide statements regarding their plans to remain in Germany, as reflected by the document with the overpasted section included in this lot. Underneath John's declaration, there is a handwritten note by Stuart which reads: I have been informed that I may no longer work in this country. I intend to stay here from this day, as a tourist by Mrs. Kirchherr, Hamburg, Altona Eimsbüttelerstr45A, Hamburg 6th December - Stuart Sutcliffe. Mrs. Kirchherr was the mother of a local girl, Astrid, whom Stuart had met and fallen in love with previously and it was planned that he would stay at her family home (eventually returning to Liverpool in February 1961). It appears Stuart mis-spelled the street name, which was crossed out and re-written in a German hand, likely by the attending police officer. Stuart also had trouble with the spelling of Astrid's mother's surname. A possible explanation for this document's format is that John and Stuart were erroneously presented with each other's paperwork. Stuart's statement was written on John's document before the error was discovered and presumably John's statement had already been written on Stuart's document. John was asked to re-write his statement on a blank piece of paper which was then glued onto the form, covering Stuart's statement. Whilst Stuart stayed on, John left Hamburg on the 7th December, undertaking the somewhat arduous journey by boat and various trains back to Liverpool, complete with his amplifier, and arrived there in the middle of the night on the 8th. He returned to his home at his Aunt Mimi's and had to throw stones at her bedroom window to let her know he was there.Despite the troubles of a few months earlier, the Beatles returned to Germany to take up a three-month residency at the Top Ten Club in April 1961. Stuart had already returned to Hamburg, to continue his romance with Astrid and enrol in the city's State College Of Art. He was a very promising student but became ill and, after a series of increasingly-severe headaches, suffered a violent convulsive fit on 10th April 1962. He went into a coma and died a few hours later. It was two months short of his 22nd birthday. That same day, John, Paul and Pete had arrived yet again in Hamburg ahead of a seven-week residency, this time at a new venue, the Star-Club.In all, the Beatles made five trips to Hamburg between 1960 and 1962. Their final appearances at the Star-Club in December 1962 brought their stage time in the city to around 1,100 hours. Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn sums up that experience: Quite how valuable the work tied up in this remarkable statistic was to prove was, at this point, beyond comprehension. The Beatles had served their apprenticeship, and served it the hard way. They were now ready to take on whatever the world could throw at them. In an interview in 1969, John described their time in Hamburg thus: 'We went in young boys and came out old men.'Provenance:Ex-Lot 237, Rock & Roll Memorabilia, Sotheby's London, 22nd December 1982.Literature:Lewisohn, Mark, The Complete Beatles Chronicle, Pyramid Books, London, 1992.Lewisohn, Mark, All These Years Volume 1: Tune In, Little, Brown, London, 2013.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
