Description: KING OF SHADOWS written by SUSAN COOPER DOUBLE SIGNED BY AUTHOR SUSAN COOPER AND PUBLISHER / EDITOR MARGARET K. MCELDERRY on the title page Susan Cooper also added: "for Joan / with best wishes" This is an "arc" = advance reading copy, aka "uncorrected proof". I received it for my job as the children's book buyer at the Booksmith, here in San Francisco, at the time of its publication. Margaret K. McElderry was a legendary editor in the book business, who had her own imprint. She was Susan Cooper's editor for decades and they were also close friends. When Margaret came out to San Francisco with Susan for a book tour, I was lucky enough to be part of a small group of booksellers who had lunch with them. They signed this for me on that happy occasion. This is a wonderful fantasy about a boy with a talent for acting who travels back in time to perform with William Shakespeare at the Globe Theater in 1599. It is in very good condition. I take good care of my books in my smoke-free environment. Notes on condition: cover: stiff paper cover is crisp and clean; no marks or dents; tiny bit of wear at top of spine interior pages: clean & crisp, no marks or tears sewn binding: all pages secure Please see photos to get a sense of the great condition and the wonderfully legible signatures!

Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference. Thanks for looking!
