Rowling, J.K. - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone The first edition, first impression of the London: Bloomsbury, 1997. First edition, first impression, with the 10-1 numberline on the publisher's imprint page, hardcover, 8vo, original publisher's pictorial laminated boards, library circulation label indicating withdrawal, laminated barcode to front free endpaper and neat label pasted to publication page, some restoration work, very slight browning and slight soiling internally including a couple of small ink marks to first page, star stamp to upper edgeFootnote: Note: Few books have inspired the imaginations of a generation of children like J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The franchise has now expanded to encompass eight Harry Potter films, two Fantastic Beasts films, a sell-out stage play, three theme parks and a studio tour. As of 2016, the Harry Potter industry was estimated to be worth $25 billion. It is therefore very poignant to encounter the point at which all this began: J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was published in London, by Bloomsbury, in 1997. Unsure of its success, the publishers issued only 500 copies of the first edition, first impression in hardback. The book is the jewel in a Harry Potter collector’s crown. This copy, being one of the 500 first impression hardbacks produced, has the numberline reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the publisher’s imprint page, the publisher is listed as Bloomsbury, the error of ‘1 wand’ is listed twice in Harry’s school equipment list and ‘Philosopher’ is misspelt ‘Philospher’ on the lower cover. It is an exceptionally rare book to find. Wendy Cooling's review on the upper cover states: "A terrific read and a stunning first novel", another key issue point of the first edition, first impression. The book is indeed a story that has captured the hearts of generations around the world, with this copy representing the birth of a true classic.

Gerald Coulson Moonlight Limited Edition signed by WW2 Special Duties Lysander Pilot Flt. Lt. Peter Arkell RAF. This print is from the Limited Edition number 35 350 published in 2006 and is supplied with the original Certificate of Authenticity. The print is signed by the artist, Gerald Coulson, and Special Duties Lysander pilot: Flight Lieutenant Peter Arkell. For his first tour Peter Arkell flew Mustangs and Spitfires with 26 Squadron on intruder and low level photographic sorties over France, before joining 161 Squadron as Tempsford in 1944, flying Lysanders into occupied Europe mainly supporting SOE operations. He then accompanied the Lysanders to Burma where he flew 35 successful but hazardous missions supplying Force 136 behind the Japanese lines.

Print historical detail: Flying secret agents in and out of occupied France, transporting arms and radio equipment to the Resistance, and collecting downed airmen from behind enemy lines were all among the most hazardous flying operations of World War II. These cloak and dagger sorties, always conducted at night by the light of the moon, required a cool head and inordinate flying and navigational skills a duty performed courageously by the pilots of RAF Special Duty Squadrons. The aircraft most suited to these difficult tasks was the rugged Westland Lysander the aircraft Gerald Coulson has chosen to portray in his tribute to the pilots of the Special Duties Squadrons. With the moon at its fullest phase, a Lysander from 161 Squadron is en route to France, flying literally into the unknown. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
