Quidditch Through the Ages

First edition, first printing (true first). 56pp, lightly illustrated with sketches and line drawings. Card covers (a little rubbed at edges). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a previous owner’s name neatly written inside the front cover. This book by J K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, was written under the Wizard author’s name of Kennilworthy Whisp, to be sold in aid of Comic Relief in March 2001. Published by Bloomsbury in association with Whizz Hard Books of Diagon Alley. It sold out almost immediately. Subsequent, perhaps more luxurious, editions have been produced, but these are the true collectors’ items being not only the first to market, but also being sold to raise money for good works. 12mo.
