7. Describe a book as an edition.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
The cover of the book shows the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and the author’s name, J.K. Rowling. It also usually has an illustration connected with the story, for example, Harry riding a broomstick or standing near the Hogwarts Express.
The title page repeats the title and the author’s name. It also gives the name of the publisher (for example, Bloomsbury in the UK edition or Scholastic in the US edition) and the year of publication. The first edition came out in 1997.
The table of contents lists the chapters of the book. From it we can see the topics the book covers, such as Harry’s first meeting with Hagrid, his arrival at Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat, Quidditch matches, and the discovery of the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone. So, the cover, title page, and contents together tell us who wrote the book, when and where it was published, and what the main parts of the story are about.
