Review: Beautiful book if a little pricey. - Firstly it is huge! I should have checked the dimensions but it is big. It comes in a cardboard box (also with an art sketch on it) which is nice for storage/protection. The actual book and slipcase are beautiful and appear to be good quality. The illustrations are fantastic. I haven't seen the regular illustrated edition to compare although intend on buying that one for my daughter to read and keep in her bookcase, this one we will read together, it's probably too big for her to manage on her own. Bonus is that it is printed and bound in Italy, I always appreciate a book not printed and bound in China as so many are these days. Is it worth £150, I'm not sure, I love it but £150 is expensive. Definitely a good buy when on offer though. Review: A very luxurious gift - What a wonderful book to give to loved ones, a very luxurious gift. I also bought the entire series for myself. It arrived well packaged and very quickly. ## Features - Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal: Edición Deluxe ilustrada en estuche Harry Potter, 1 - Tipo de producto: Libro Abis - Marca: Bloomsbury ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 248,471 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 698 in Paranormal Fantasy for Children 781 in Children's Books on School 884 in Fiction Classics for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 210 Reviews | ## Images ![Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Deluxe Illustrated Slipcase Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vK-7WV7FL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book if a little pricey. *by M***I on 26 March 2016* Firstly it is huge!
