One of 60 Presentation Copies

The Stories of Ray Bradbury [One of 60 Presentation Copies]

Bradbury, Ray

Notes: The presentation issue of this massive collection of one hundred stories, published between 1943 and 1980, with a new introduction by the author.

For many of his books, Bradbury had a small number of copies specially bound by the publisher, which he doled out to friends and fans. This book includes a tipped-in limitation sheet designating it as a presentation copy; it also has a different binding than the trade edition. The trade issue has the title stamped in yellow-gold on the cover and spine. This special copy is much more subtle, with a design of stars on the cover and the author and title on the spine stamped in clear gloss so they glint in the light.

884 pages.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A bit of spotting to the page edges and the lower outer corner of the covers, else a very good hardcover copy in a near fine dust jacket. This copy is signed by Bradbury on the front free endpaper and dated Oct. 17, '85.

Publication: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1980.
