Price reduced to $450 NET

(CONROY, Pat). THE SHAKO. The Magazine of the South Carolina Corps of 
Cadets. Vol. 33, #1. [Charleston, SC]: The Citadel, Fall 1964. First 
Edition. Quarto (9" x 12") bound in pictorial wraps. The scarce official 
organ of the student body at the Citadel, this issue distinguished by 
the presence of very early writing by Pat Conroy, author of THE GREAT 
SANTINI, THE PRINCE OF TIDES, and other novels, many of which include 
his alma mater to various degrees. This issue features the story "A 
Monologue of Drums," the first piece of fiction (he had previously 
published poetry) by him to appear in THE SHAKO and possibly the first 
published anywhere, as he had just turned 19 years old at the time. This 
appearance predates his first book, THE BOO, by 6 years. Also included 
is Vol. 34, #2, Spring 1966, which does not contain any writing by 
Conroy. Very light use. Near Fine. (#017234)        $750.00
