It has often irritated me that J.K. Rowling's US publisher changed the word Philosopher to Sorcerer in the initial Potter book. So the other day I was looking around on Amazon with my browser and located a Marketplace vendor who was selling new copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in hardback (published by Bloomsbury). I ordered it. It came today. It has a kinda' blah cover (see below) and was slightly smaller than a library/book club edition. I'd hoped that it would come with the cover art depicting Harry and the Hogwarts Express - see below). Its arrival made me decide to re-read it and I'll probably get to the midpoint by bedtime and finish it tomorrow.
