Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable for a book of it's age and nature, i.e. an ephemeral,and children's paperback,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. Originally a charitable publication issued in March 2001 (for Comic Relief) and as such,paperback Original,1st edns, being amusing replicas of school textbooks borrowed from Hogwarts Library,selling out almost immediately.These preceded their UK counterparts by a month (these being February,2001).They also preceded the later boxed set published by Scholastic,both of these p/back issues are now out of print.
