The decorative "textbook" outer box has some damage. Please see our photographs. There is a small white smudge close to the lower spine as well as damage to the faux gilt bottom "pages" of the box. However, the book and folio are in very fine/as new condition without any damage of any kind.

Comes with all the details of the limited collector's edition: The actual book itself is brown leatherette with a metal clasp to keep it locked shut and ornamental decorations including a skull with replica jeweled eyes. In very fine condition, housed in a red velvet bag with a facsimile of Rowling's signature.

The 10 prints are enclosed in the original publisher's folio and are also in very fine condition, ready for framing. Folio/envelope in very fine condition and displays a parchment-like effect that matches the aged aesthetic of the set. These collector's edition prints are not found in the standard or original copy of the book.

Accompanied by the "This Side Up" publisher's sleeve which has faint smudging along bottom edge and a small bit of tape on the back. This special edition sold out almost immediately upon publication in December 2008 and remains a highly sought after collectible.
