Numbered Issue

Bradbury: An Illustrated Life. A Journey to Far Metaphor [Signed, Numbered]

[Bradbury, Ray] Weist, Jerry

Publication: Hampton Falls, NH: Donald M. Grant, 2004. First Edition.

Notes: The expanded signed, limited edition of this color survey of Bradbury's publications, beginning with the earliest fanzines. Includes photographs of first editions, paperback reprints, foreign editions, trial artwork, as well as of the plays and movies based on Bradbury's work.

The book is bound in full blue leatherette stamped with a snakeskin pattern. The sheets are from the 2002 Harper Collins edition; this signed limited was published two years later. The edition size is usually given as 350 copies, although your cataloguer does not know the source for that number as it doesn't appear to be printed in the book.

9-3/4 by 11-1/2 inches. 195 pages.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine clamshell box. This is copy 107 signed by Weist and Bradbury on a limitation page. While the binding only imitates snakeskin, the overall look is quite effective.

From the Tom Garner collection.
