This edition has been issued in a limited printing in the US (100,000 copies I believe). The book is made of green dark leather binding with gold-foil stamping on the embossed green cover. The pages have gold-leaf and there is a previously unpublished sketch of Harry by Rowling inside the book.

The book retails for $75.00 and is expected to rise in value over time. In fact, the first editions issued in the US of her first book ( 30,000 copies were printed in 1998) now retail for $40. Almost double the price it was issued.

This leather bound edition is designed for book collectors and families that have made Harry Potter part of their lives. It is definately for reading over and over again...for those of who are die hard fans.
