The never-before-seen uncorrected sheets are a version of the book that was sent before final proofreading and consists of 224 numbered pages on 109 sheets.
"I have enclosed a manuscript for your interest as promised… I would really appreciate if you would let me know your comments for pre-publication quotes."
A month later, Waters replied:"I just loved this book. There is something about Harry Potter that reminds me of Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."Waters' comments were used as a review on the back of the first edition of the book that was printed. Clive Moss, head of Chiswick Auctions books, manuscript and works on paper, said:"We are thrilled with the result of this only known surviving set of galley sheets today, which were on the market for the first time and caused quite a stir."
He added:"We expected stiff competition for them, as they offered a unique insight into what was to become an iconic work in the history of literature". Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sees Harry, an orphan, brought up by his aunt and uncle because his parents were killed when he was a baby.Related Topics
