Books

Advance uncorrected proof (frequently referred to as an ARC, advance reading copy, and several other names) of this important YA novel. These are sent to reviewers and bookstores to try to drum up support for a new title, and usually include publication information that is not otherwise available -- date of publication, audience demographics and the like. The number of copies printed is smaller than the number of first edition copies. They are rarely seen signed, and are frequently not kept in very good condition. This is an excellent copy of this early state of a very sought-after book, inscribed to a known SF/Fantasy bookseller -- if you like, I'll include a provenance note about where it came from and how it got signed. Shipping outside the USA will be much more expensive than Biblio allows for; please enquire before ordering if you live outside the USA.

The Giver, the first volume in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, introduces a dystopian society where a young boy named Jonas begins to discover the dark secrets behind his seemingly perfect world.
