Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, signed by JK Rowling JK Rowling

With an author-signed Bloomsbury Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince bookplate to the title page; first Australian edition, published by Bloomsbury, printed by the Griffin Press. 2005. Bookplate signed with a black pen by JK Rowling; uncommonly seen in the Australian edition. A small number of official Bloomsbury Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince bookplates were affixed to Australian copies of the title. I have three further Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince bookplates, each with a letter of authenticity from The Harry Potter Specialist, and the colours and dimensions of those bookplates are indistinguishable from this bookplate; this is an entirely genuine JK Rowling-signed bookplate. The book is in near fine condition. Note the toning patterns on the text block differ considerably from the UK printing, which is usually more uniformly toned, while this copy has bands of toning in the text block. Pushed spine foot; lightly pushed corners of upper cover; light bumping to top corner of upper board; internally very clean; no dog-eared pages. Jacket is not price-clipped (the jacket has no price printed upon it). Jacket with a bit of wear and light creasing.
