Scarce Proof with Story Deleted from Final Book

The Stories of Ray Bradbury [Proof]

Bradbury, Ray

Notes: An advance copy, preceding the first edition, with a story not included in the finished version of this massive collection of one hundred stories, published between 1943 and 1980. This proof includes the story "Heart Transplant," which was replaced with "Farewell Summer" in the finished version.

This is a massive proof, at 884 pages plus the introduction, and presumably it was issued in relatively small numbers.

Edition + Condition: Spotting to the fore-edge; crease on back wrapper; else a very good or better copy, signed by Bradbury on the front cover.

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

Item No: #307747
