First Japanese and British edition vs. American edition

Hi,

Natalie, thank you for putting all together.


First edition of Japanese version has the same title as original British first edition.
However, the American publisher changed the title of first edition for US market.
It's interesting, isn't it?

It explained on my 2nd slide:
"The first book of the series, Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone (ISBN 0-7475-3269-9), was published
by Bloomsbury, the publisher of all Harry Potter books in
the United Kingdom, on June 30, 1997. It was released in
the United States on September 1, 1998 by Scholastic—the
American publisher of the books—as Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer's Stone (ISBN 9780590353427) "
