It also has a small bookseller's sticker from the original bookseller. The original dust jacket has a long, wedge-shaped chip missing from the top of the spine area. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. The book measures roughly 5 3/4 by 8 1/2 inches and includes 252 pages. . Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
The Illustrated Man is a 1951 book of eighteen science fiction short stories by Ray Bradbury that explores the nature of mankind. While none of the stories have a plot or character connection with the next, a recurring theme is the conflict of the cold mechanics of technology and the psychology of people. The unrelated stories are tied together by the frame device of "the Illustrated Man", a vagrant with a tattooed body whom the unnamed narrator meets.
