Raising Demons [Author's copy; Signed Presentation to Dedicatee's Son]
Author: Jackson, Shirley
Publisher: New York Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, Inc. 1957
First edition A Very Good copy (mildly askew, some foxing to the boards and pastedowns, dust jacket offsetting to the endpapers and pastedowns, spine ends pushed, light surface rubs to the topstain), in a Very Good dust jacket (mild sunning to spine, modest edge wear, small tear to top of front panel, some foxing), INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY SHIRLEY JACKSON TO THE DEDICATEE'S SON, AND FURTHER INSCRIBED TO HIS SON BY THE DEDICATEE, LOUIS SCHER and there dated by him "12/56". Jackson's inscription reads: "For Louis the IV. / Best / Shirley Jackson". Louis Scher's inscription reads: "Hope you enjoy / this / Dad / 12/56". Shirley Jackson's second family memoir (following "Life Among the Savages" - 1953). A prepublication copy inscribed and provided by Shirley Jackson to the Dedicatee's son at the Dedicatee's request, thus a Fine Association Copy inscribed both by the Author and by the Dedicatee, and owned by the Dedicatee's son. (The Uncorrected Proof provides a projected publication date of "January 21st 1957" and the first edition to the market states "First Printing, 1957". As this copy has no reference to the publication date and does not state that it is a later printing, and as it further is dated by the Dedicatee ( "12/56") prior to the book's publication, and, finally, as we believe Shirley Jackson would most likely have provided a copy to the Dedicatee's son at the Dedicatee's request prior to publication, we conclude that this is a prepublication copy provided by the Publisher to the Author prior to the book's publication. A Very Good AUTHOR'S COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY SHIRLEY JACKSON TO THE DEDICATEE'S SON, AND FURTHER INSCRIBED TO HIS SON BY THE DEDICATEE AND DATED PRIOR TO THE BOOK'S PUBLICATION. A RARE INSCRIBED ASSOCIATION COPY. Hardcover Book condition: Very Good. Jacket condition: very good
Price: US$2,550.00. Quantity available: 1.
