I will sell copies of Children of the Star and of the hardcover edition of The Far Side of Evil to public and high school libraries at 40% off, since both are now unobtainable through distributors. Purchase orders are okay. Contact me for shipping cost.

Please Note

Please don't read old editions of The Far Side of Evil or Journey Between Worlds -- the updated ones have signficiant wording changes and are therefore more more convincing as well as more appropriate for readers of today. (If you get one of them from a library and they still have copies older than 2003, please be sure to tell the librarian that there's a revised edition.)

This Star Shall Abide, Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains, and The Doors of the Universe are available in one volume under the title Children of the Star (see above). It is technically out of print because the publisher is no longer in business, but new copies can be obtained either from Amazon.com or from me. These three novels are not available separately except from used book dealers, and have been improved by the revisions made in the single-volume edition.

I have two copies of the limited print-to-order hardcover edition of Children of the Star, of which fewer than 300 copies were printed, available. These have minor binding imperfections and so are priced at $25, which is half the cover price of $50. Shipping is $9.30 and can be combined with one or more other books for no additional shipping charge.

Heritage of the Star is not an additional book; it's simply the title of the UK edition of This Star Shall Abide.

The science fiction anthologies I edited--Universe Ahead and Anywhere, Anywhen--will never be reprinted. Most of the stories in them are by other authors, and the ones I myself co-authored are available here at this site. The historical chapters of my nonfiction book The Planet-Girded Suns are also online. My nonfiction books The Subnuclear Zoo and Tool for Tomorrow are now outdated. My picture book Our World Is Earth is still current, but is very hard to obtain.

If you search for my books at Amazon.com, you will see many recent nonfiction books listed under my name. These are anthologies in series intended for high schools that I prepare as a freelance editor; they are not books of my own.


Signed bookplates available!

I now have free signed bookplates for you to put in copies of my books you already own. These are not gummed; you need to use your own glue. To obtain them, send me a stamped self-addressed #10 envelope; request my mailing address by e-mail if you don't already have it. If you are buying a signed copy of a book from me and want bookplates for your other books, just tell me; you don't need to send postage for them, as I can put them in the same package.

Please tell me whether you'd like your bookplates personalized to you by name, or just my signature. Also please tell me if you want me to include my middle name, as it appears on the Atheneum, Aladdin and Walker editions. (Because my full name, Sylvia Louise Engdahl, is associated with my reputation in the children's literature field, I do not use it on editions not marketed as children's books, since if older science fiction readers not familiar with them assume they are for children, they're reluctant to buy them.)

Note: if you are under 13 please ask someone older to send for your bookplates. It is against the law for a Web site to request identifying information from children under 13.
