Maxwell Grant: Author's Copy - The Living Shadow
<B>Maxwell Grant: Author's Personal Copy of <I>The Living Shadow</B></I>.</B></I> (New York: Street and Smith Publications, Inc., 1931), first edition, 245 pages, pictorial boards, 12mo (5" x 7.5"), no dust jacket (as issued). This is the first appearance of The Shadow in book form; the story was published earlier in 1931 in <I>The Shadow Magazine.</B></I> Here we present a true rarity: like <I>The Shadow Laughs</B></I> offered elsewhere in this catalog, this is an author's copy of <I>The Living Shadow,</B></I> which belonged to Walter Gibson, the real man behind the pseudonym Maxwell Grant. This very book was auctioned in 1995 at a prominent New York auction house, and is available again for the first time since then. It is in very good condition, with light edge wear present, and mild age-toning to the textblock edges.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
