The first volume, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" SIGNED by the author to a Bloomsbury bookplate affixed to the front pastedown. A beautiful complete set of the Deluxe Editions, all in the first printings, uncommon found together, the first volume rarely signed; the Bloomsbury bookplate providing a nice provenance for the signing; the first 3 volumes coming from the collection of Robin and Marsh Garces Williams (the deceased, iconic actor/comedian and his 2nd wife).
