    Original pictorial boards. Publisher's first state dust jacket. Minimal toning to the top edge of the textblock. One minor crease to the front flap of the dust jacket. Ever so slightly over-opened at the title page. Altogether, a near fine copy of a book rarely found signed in any condition.

    J. K. Rowling has captured the hearts and minds of Muggles around the world with her incredibly successful Harry Potter series. This second book covers Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when the mysterious Chamber of Secrets is opened, and Harry and friends must battle to safeguard their lives and the world.
