ROWLING, J.K.
Complete set of the deluxe Harry Potter novels. Bloomsbury, 1999-2007
all 8vo, FIRST DELUXE EDITIONS ("10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" or "First Edition" on publisher’s imprint page), original cloth gilt with laid-down illustration on upper cover, gilt edges, last three volumes still in sealed shrink-wrap
When the deluxe editions started to appear, in 1999, the editions were preceded by the true first trade editions. By the end of the series, in 2007, trade edition, adult edition and deluxe edition were all issued on the same date. The Bloomsbury Archives do not record a print run for the deluxe Prisoner of Azkaban. However, it is believed there were 4869 copies of Philosopher's Stone and 7500 copies of Chamber of Secrets. This would rise to 46,500 copies of the deluxe Deathly Hallows.
