The Giver by Lois Lowry 

FIRST EDITION [1993] HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO. 

3rd printing / 1993.  Rare early pre-Newbery medal printing.

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.

Dust jacket is clean and in tact with a few scratches and some veining to laminate.  Now housed in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.

Book itself is bound in clean red cloth w/ gilded title on spine.   *A few (formerly) dog-eared pages and 2 pages with some very faint finger staining to margins that do not affect text (see last 2 photos.)  All other pages look and read good as new. 

The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time.

The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community.
