ហេរី ផោតធ័រ និង សិលាទេព
1st Edition Khmer translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, published Cambodia Daily Press in 2000 and translated by Un Tim. This very tall and thin book features GrandPre cover art and Guardian rear quote and lovely, vivid bright colors. This translation is increasingly scarce outside of Cambodia. I love the Khmer script.
There is no ISBN given for this book.
ហេរី ផោតធ័រ និង បន្ទប់ សម្ងាត់
Unusually, the 2nd and last book published in Khmer uses the Bloomsbury UK cover art by Cliff Wright instead of keeping with the US Mary GrandPre art. Like the first book, this book is also a tall and thin book. This book was also published by Cambodia Daily Press and translated by Un Tim.
Like the first book, there is not an ISBN given on this book.
