Rowling (J.K.)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, uncorrected proof copy, first issue, with the author's name Joanne Rowling in full on the reverse of the title-page, Bloomsbury bookplate to the inside front cover signed by the author, original purple wrappers, a few slight marks to the upper cover, otherwise a fine copy, 8vo, 1999.
***The first, in purple wrappers, contained text IN AN EARLIER STATE than the second in green wrappers. An unconfirmed print-run of 50 copies is generally accepted (although the publishers suggest 150 copies). The bibliography states, "this would suggest that the proof was released to a very select readership, with the publisher expecting to issue the text in a later state to a greater number of readers".
