The Sparrow

Advance Readers Copy

Mary Doria Russell

1996

 

 

I’m closing up my 87 year old father’s house and this was in his library.

 

“Russell's first two novels, The Sparrow and its sequel Children of God—sometimes called the Sparrow series or Emilio Sandoz sequence have been called speculative fiction and focused on the religious and psychological implications of first contact with aliens. The Sparrow won the Arthur C. Clarke, BSFA, and Tiptree annual science fiction book awards, and it was the basis for Russell winning the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1998.”

 

This book is in vg condition. But it has shelfware & browning. The spine is smooth and the binding is firm and intact, however, some of the page blocks are not trimmed uniformly. This is due to the fact that Advance Readers Copies are often rapidly produced and have production issues of one sort or another since they were never intended for the public.

I have a full time job and I only get to the post office once a week. Please do not expect this to arrive tomorrow.

 

International bidders will pay actual shipping costs which are shockingly, staggeringly, prohibitively expensive.
