Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
06/26/1997 AD published
Bloomsbury published Philosopher's Stone with an initial print-run of 500 copies in hardback, three hundred of which were distributed to libraries.
Her original name, "Joanne Rowling", can be found in small print on the copyright page of this first British edition. (The 1998 first American edition would remove reference to "Joanne" completely.)
The short initial print run was standard for first novels, and Cunningham hoped booksellers would read the book and recommend it to customers.
Examples from this initial print run have sold for as much as US$33,460 in a 2007 Heritage Auction.
