Description: Marquee D'Sounde Rare and Collectible Records and Books Providing the finest available !All Books Box Shipped!See Example In Photos Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British writer and Anglican lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University (Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge University (Magdalene College, 1954–1963). He is best known as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but he is also noted for his other works of fiction, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, including Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain. Lewis was a close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. According to Lewis's 1955 memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptized in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Lewis returned to Anglicanism at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England". Lewis's faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim. Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies. The books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia have sold the most and have been popularized on stage, TV, radio, and cinema. His philosophical writings are widely cited by Christian scholars from many denominations. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Note Regarding Signed/Autographed Editions.

Rather than adopting the "Collectors" method of describing a book, I use the publishers terms for them to provide a more accurate description. So, That said, while many books state "First Edition", this term can be confusing. A First Edition can have many printings but only the First Printing is the True First Edition. Publishers all use slightly different methods but most use a number line to define which printing, state "First Published in" with no line number or will state "First Edition" and list no line number. With only one exception the line numbers will all include a "1" for the True First Printing hence a True First Edition. Random House and it's subsidiaries use a line starting in "2" (recently they started using a "1" like other publishers) and state plainly "First Edition" if it is a first printing and eliminate the "First Edition" once they start the second printing. Many editions state First Edition, as they are until a reprint is done, but this is not the same as what collectors call a "True First Edition". A books value is in the printing and the First Printing is the most valuable and is referred to as the "True First Edition". An original Book Club issue released at the time the original First Edition is released will be described as a First Edition Book Club and later issues by book clubs will not include the First Edition designation. In my listings all True First Editions will state "First Printing" and if only stating First Edition it will indicate a later printing or re-issue in the description. ****************** EBay Book Condition Definitions Terminology Foxing: Spotting on a book, usually brown spots found in varying severity, caused by a chemical action wherein impurities in the paper oxidize FEP: Front End Paper ISBN: International Standard Book Number Crinkling: the curling of dust jacket edges over time Chipping: Little tears along edges of dust jacket Clipped/Unclipped: The MSRP has or hasn't been clipped off Remainder: The mark a publisher makes when the item is ineligable for credit back from the publisher All books are rated based on these conditions Brand New A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.
