Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Inscribed By J.K. Rowling 74ROWLING, J.K. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. London, 2007. Thick octavo, original stiff paper boards, dust jacket. $7500 First edition of the final book in Rowling’s fantasy series, inscribed: “To the L—s, J.K. Rowling.” “We can’t think of anyone else who has sustained such an intricate, endlessly inventive plot over seven thick volumes and so constantly surprised us with twists, well-laid traps and Purloined Letter-style tricks. Hallows continues the tradition, both with sly feats of legerdemain and with several altogether new, unexpected elements.” (Publishers Weekly) Due to her series’ enormous popularity, copies of the later volumes signed by Rowling are extraordinarily scarce, as the author very seldom holds book signing events. Slight bump to foot of spine, faint creasing to dust jacket. An about-fine copy.
