Me too. I have purchased all 5 books from amazon.co.uk because I preferred the cover art on the Bloomsbury editions. The binding on some wasn't all that good (esp. "Goblet of Fire"), but "Order of the Phoenix" apppears to be much better manufactured. Although it is true that "sorceror's stone" means absolutely nothing, esp. if you know anything at all about alchemy, I wonder how many young readers in the UK got the association either until it was explained in the book? -- Tom Beck www.prydonians.org www.mercerjewishsingles.org "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
