About This Item
London: Bloomsbury Academic,, 2017. Exclusive to Peter Harrington Revised edition, first impression of the "definitive bibliography of the writings of J. K. Rowling", signed by the bibliographer. Peter Harrington is now the only source for new copies of this book, and we are also able to offer copies with an inscription by the bibliographer. If you would like an inscribed copy, please contact us. As noted by the blurb, "In addition to bibliographical details of each edition of all [Rowling's] books, pamphlets and original contributions to published works, there is detailed information on the publishing history of her work, including fascinating extracts from correspondence, and information on Rowling at auction. The paperback has been fully revised and updated to include over 50 new editions published since 2013... The works of Robert Galbraith are also included." The first edition was published in 2015 and, for a bibliography, it became an unexpected best-seller. This updated edition was first published in 2017. Writing in her short preface to the work, J. K. Rowling described the book as a "slavishly thorough and somewhat mind-boggling bibliography... I am humbled and deeply flattered". Quarto. Original illustrated wrappers, spine and wrappers lettered in gilt and white. 16 pp. colour illustrations, numerous black and white illustrations within the text. Occasional minor rubbing to extremities: fine condition. Cf. Errington B21(a)
