Seller's Comments: Bradbury's first book. A major high point of 20th Century imaginative fiction. One of only 3112 copies (according to the usual sources). This copy was inscribed by Bradbury on Oct 29, 1997 (at a World Fantasy Convention in LA, if I recall correctly) to Tom (Whitmore, who is the person selling it). The book is in reasonable condition, the jacket badly rubbed and edge-worn -- the scan (unfortunately) does it justice. Still, a difficult book to come by, and a milestone volume.

Seller's Comments: Hardback, small octavo. Black cloth with gilt stamped spine title. The author's first book, and a very nice copy. Covers with light extremity wear and a very light bump to upper front cover. Barely noticeable strip of toning from glue on the front pastedown. A neat owner note on verso of free endpaper concerning receipt of the book from his parents. Otherwise a clean, bright, soundly bound copy. The dustjacket has very minimal loss of surface color at extremities and noticeable rubbing at folds as well as on a diagonal crease on the spine. The most serious jacket problem is the presence of yellowed tape reinforcement to head of spine and top of rear flap fold. Hard to figure why since there's no tearing to repair. A much better than presentable jacket.

Seller's Comments: A very special First British Edition of Ray Bradbury's First Book, inscribed by the author with an original drawing and date (October 25, 1980) on the front free endpaper. In dark teal cloth, the book is in fine condition but for overall minor touches of soiling but is square and solid. The original dustjacket is complete with the lower corner of the front clap clipped and the original price (5s.NET) added. Overall the dustjacket shows touches of wear at the edges and small slits beginning at the top edge of the spine and soiling on the white panels; but the protective archival plastic cover protects it well. A lovely copy of the most important book by one of our favorite authors. Author's important first book with original drawing by the author. Scarce. Parrish Books guarantees all signatures as authentic. Near Fine in Archival Plastic Cover

Seller's Comments: 313 pp. One of a stated edition of 3000; Chalker cites 3112 copies as the actual printing run. A bright clean example, light wear along bottom edge of book, hinges tight, no marks, no fraying, spine gilt all bright although with a few minute chips to gilt in publisher's name. Dustjacket not price clipped, light edgewear, tiny chips at corners, under 1/8", and about 1/32" chipping along bottom and top spine edges, light rubbing at a few places, both flaps clean and bright, red lettering on spine faded to pink but clear, red lettering on front panel still bright red. (A member of the LASAFS, himself later the dedicatee of a Philip K. Dick novel, received this book when the book came out in 1947; and he remembers Bradbury coming in with a stack of his author's copies, of which this is one. It was much later signed for me by Bradbury.)

Seller's Comments: First Edition of the Authors First Book. Signed by the author, Ray Bradbury, on the title page. This copy has a wonderful and beautiful custom full black morocco leather designer binding by the Dragonfly Bindery Studio with spooky veined endpapers. Enclosed in a matching morocco and cloth, velvet lined, clamshell box. The spine of the box has a wonderful gilt-stamped tooled design with a bat hanging upside down. The book, itself, has a superb full wraparound leather inlaid depiction from the books short story, "The Homecoming," one of Bradburys finest stories. The story is an evocative and eerie tale of a family reunion of vampires who fly in from all over the world under their own power for a party. Timothy is a mortal son in the family of vampires hosting the reunion who wishes he could fit in but just doesnt seem to be able to become a night creature like his relatives. The binding shows Timothy standing before his familys classic Victorian haunted house watching all his relatives in the form of vampire bats fly in for the homecoming. A superb piece of the art of bookbinding and one of the most attractive copies in existence of this Ray Bradbury landmark classic. Images available.

Seller's Comments: First Edition of the Authors First Book. Signed by the author, Ray Bradbury, to screenwriter and television writer, Joseph Petracca. Inscribed: "For Joseph Petracca. With my thanks and gratitude for your help on 'The Fox In the Forest which made a quick sale possible. Ray Bradbury. March 27, 1950." With the recipients bookplate laid in which is a lovely sketch of a man and woman walking together along a rural path with "The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead printed at the top and 'Lena and Joseph Petracca printed at the bottom. Joseph Petracca also wrote short stories about Italians, was an early friend of Bradbury, and was one of the original 8 members of a writers group Bradbury and writer friends organized in 1948 which met for decades. The inscription refers to Petraccas giving Bradbury extensive and valuable advice about rewriting his short story, "The Fox and the Forest," ultimately considered among Bradburys finest, collected as part of 'The Illustrated Man. Very good copy in a bright neatly price-clipped dust jacket with a few tiny mends by an expert paper conservationist. Enclosed in a custom black cloth clamshell box.

Seller's Comments: This is Ray Bradbury's first book despite a California ABE book dealer describing the different and later British edition as his first book. Some book dealers do not like to bother with the truth, sort of a by-product of the Clinton-Gore years. Of course, another by-product of that reign is the inability of our children to read, but, as Lou Jacobi was wont to say, that's another story. This is a wonderful association copy in magnificent condition. It is INSCRIBED to Stuart David Schiff, a publisher and editor of Ray's work. Schiff's WHISPERS magazine was all set to publish a Ray Bradbury issue (as it did with Stephen King, Manly Wade Wellman, Fritz Leiber, Whitley Strieber, Ramsey Campbell, and others) when Ray's agent decided against it. All of the material for that tribute (except for the wonderful Gahan Wilson cover still secreted in the WHISPERS horde) has been published by Schiff in various publications, the wonderful original version 'The Screaming Woman" in the signed (and only) edition of BEST OF WHISPERS. The stories in DARK CARNIVAL are Ray Bradbury in his best horror-fantasy mode. This copy is in exceptional condition, the jacket virtually unrubbed, the only flaws being full breaks in the finish where the jacket folds over the spine and inside front flap (seen on other copies so this is likely a flaw in the DJ manufacture). The book is superior with only the lightest rub on the gilt and tiny softness to one corner tip. The inscription reads to Stuart Schiff . 1971. I just saw a lovely copy of a lesser Bradbury title at $2800!!! Also note that I have had for sale or trade the original cover artwork to DEEP WATERS, TALES OF SCIENCE AND SORCERY, and THE HOUSE OF THE WORM. Inquire. JPEGs are available of all our titles and illustration artwork.

Seller's Comments: Octavo, cloth. First edition. Presentation copy with vintage signed inscription by Bradbury to Preston Sturges on the front free endpaper: "For / Preston Sturges / with my best wishes -- / and my thanks / for the good entertainment / you have provided me with / over the years / from / Ray Bradbury / May 5, 1948." 3112 copies printed. The author's first book. Sturges was one of the top writer/directors of the 1940s in Hollywood, with such distinctive satires as "The Lady Eve," "Sullivan's Travels" and "The Palm Beach Story." Bradbury began writing screenplays soon after this book was published, with his first screen credit coming in 1951. He produced scripts for episodic and showcase television and for sci-fi B movies such as "It Came From Outer Space" and "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" as well as the award- winning "Moby Dick" in 1956. Barron (ed), Horror Literature 3-34. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 254. Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 4-42. Cloth lightly worn along bottom edges, lettering on spine panel a bit dull, a near fine copy in fine dust jacket. A stunning example of the jacket which is quite uncommon in this condition and was probably married to this copy at sometime in the past. (#113326).
