Item Number: 133193
Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, 1951.
First edition, early printing of Bradbury’s third book. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper with a large drawing of the illustrated man, “For John Knight! Best From the Illustrated Man! Ray Bradbury 1968.” Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Syndney Butchkes. A unique example.
Ray Bradbury's second collection, The Illustrated Man is a marvelous, if mostly dark, quilt of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. In an ingenious framework to open and close the book, Bradbury presents himself as a nameless narrator who meets the Illustrated Man--a wanderer whose entire body is a living canvas of exotic tattoos."
