E-183: Doubleday. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1966. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Doubleday & Company, Inc. , Garden City, NY, 1966. 409 pgs. First printing code 47G in the gutter on page 405 and the date "1966" on the title page, but no "first edition" statement, since this book is just a combination of "The Golden Apples of the Sun" and "A Medicine for Melancholy." Signed and inscribed by Ray Bradbury to Andrew Wyeth on the FFEP. First Edition/First Printing. Joe Mugnaini DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here, presented in a new trade edition, are thirty-two of his most famous tales--prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry which Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherworldly portraits of outré fascination which spring from the canvas of one of the century's great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a sixty-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future, but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.
