New York: Ballantine Books, 1953. First Edition. Asbestos Binding. First edition, limited issue asbestos binding, signed by Ray Bradbury and hand-numbered by him on colophon, either #200 or #210 [? middle digit is unclear] of a stated 200 copies thus, possible overrun. [vi], 199, (3) pp. Bound in publisher's Johns-Manville Quinterra asbestos binding, lettered in red. Very Good with slightly rubbed and foxed binding, dulling to spine letters, small crack in front gutter, small stain to front board. Internally clean and fairly bright. No jacket, as issued.
The classic dystopian, anti-censorship novel, plus two short stories "The Playground" and "The Rock Cried Out." A sought-after signed limited edition with a very fitting novelty binding that dares prospective censors, "Just try burning this one!
Sinopsis
Fahrenheit 451 (Ballantine Books, 1953) by Ray Bradbury is a dystopian novel that presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic and critical thought through reading is outlawed. Written in the early years of the Cold War, the novel is a critique of what Bradbury saw as issues in American society of the era. Bradbury combined two of his early short stories, "The Pedestrian" and "Bright Phoenix," into The Fireman, a novella published in the February 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. Bradbury's publisher at Ballantine Books then suggested that he expand the work to make into a novel—Fahrenheit 451.
