Harry Potter First Edition Book (Copyright Page)

This item is the copyright page of a book, specifically identified as a first edition of a Harry Potter title, published in July 2007. The page is made of standard book paper, off-white in color, and features black text. The overall physical condition appears excellent with no visible tears, creases, or significant discoloration. The page layout is clean and professional, typical of a commercially published book. Key identifying features include 'Text copyright © 2007 by J. K. Rowling,' 'Published by Arthur A. Levine Books,' and 'First edition, July 2007.' The presence of the full number line '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' is crucial in confirming it as a true first printing. ISBN-13 is 978-0-545-00022-1 and ISBN-10 is 0-545-00022-5. A 'Mixed Sources' logo is present, indicating the paper used contains post-consumer recycled fiber and is certified from managed forests, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility during its manufacture. The page also includes legal disclaimers regarding reproduction and proper credit for copyrighted material, including excerpts from 'The Libation Bearers' by Aeschylus and 'More Fruits of Solitude' by William Penn.

Upon visual examination, this item is a single copyright page from the first edition, first printing of what appears to be 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' published in July 2007. The presence of the full number line '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' and the publication date are key indicators for a first printing. The page itself appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible tears, creases, or major discoloration, and the text is crisp. However, the value of this item is severely limited by a critical factor: it is a single page removed from the book. While a complete first edition, first printing of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' can be worth $100-$250 depending on condition and the presence of the dust jacket, a single page holds almost no collector value. The market for individual pages is virtually nonexistent, as collectors seek complete, intact copies. Its only potential value is as a novelty item or perhaps for a craft project. The high print run of the US first edition of this final book also makes even complete copies relatively common compared to early titles in the series. Limitations: My assessment is based solely on a digital image. I cannot physically inspect the paper quality, feel, or check for signs of it being a sophisticated reprint. Full authentication would require me to physically examine the page to assess the paper stock and printing method, and ideally, to see the book from which it was removed to confirm its origin.
