Albania - Albanian

The Albanian Potter books, translated by Amik Kasoruho, are increasingly becoming harder to find, even in Albania. There are 3 states of the 1st edition books (states being defined as having the same ISBN number among the books --ex: Book 1, 1st Edition, 1st State shares the same ISBN as the 1st Edition 2nd State). To my knowledge, there are no hardcover Albanian books. There are Duddle cover books as well, but I am unsure their ISBN as of yet.

The Albanian Potter books do not have any known original cover art. The 1st State features the US book illustrations by Mary GrandPre; 2nd state features German illustrations by Sabine Wilharm; 3rd state features Italian illustrations by Serena Riglietti. Of the 3 states, the 2nd seems to be the easiest found, while 1st and 3rd are both much harder to locate, with the 1st being more desired by collectors.

Tales of Beedle the Bard

The Albanian Tales of Beedle the Bard was first translated (as far as I can tell) in 2018. The book features the 2017 Jonny Duddle cover art, which was first on the Bloomsbury UK version of Beedle.
