EVE EMPEROR OF THE PENGUIN (annotated galley sheets, with first discarded cover art)

NY: Stepping Stone/ Random House, 2008. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Galley pages for #40 in Osborne's Merlin Mission series, with her line edits in pencil and inscribed in ink by her on the title page. Also included is a prototype for the cover (tan ice?) that was discarded in favor of blue ice (DAH!). Inscription reads: "For xxxxx who loves to live in her imagination, from Mary Page Osborn April 26 2008" . Besides plenty of line edits, Osborne has penned on the cover sheet "to be published fall '08". On the discarded cover art, she notes "(first cover - color changed to blues for final cover'). Unique.
