Dark Carnival Tapa dura - 1947
de Bradbury, Ray
Acerca de este libro
Ray Bradbury's first book was the short story collection Dark Carnival
issued in 1947 by Arkham House in the United States. These short
stories set the tone for Bradbury's future work. His eerie, sometimes
disturbing stories typify Arkham House books, and give us some insight
into the young Bradbury.
This book reprinted many stories previously published by Bradbury in Weird Tales of November 1944 (such as "The Jar"), and other pulp magazines of the era. Several stories saw print for the first time in this edition, however.

Identificación de primeras ediciones
Signed
copies of the first edition sell in the $2,000 to $5,000 range if of
high quality. Only a little over 3,000 copies of this book were
initially printed. The book as
such was never reprinted, though individual stories were reissued
occasionally. The author refused to allow reprints until a limited
edition was issued with new stories and a new introduction by the author
by Gauntlet Press in 2001.
Because of the unique nature of
this book, it continues to become more highly sought after. The high
quality of Arkham House publishing limits problems with the quality of
this book, with scuffing and minor tears the most common flaw seen.
