First Edition of Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man; Inscribed by Him with a Large Unique Drawing
First edition of Bradbury's classic third book. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper with a large drawing of the illustrated man, "3/21/64 For Gunther Swain! Best Wishes From the Illustrated Man! Ray Bradbury." Near fine in a very good 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" (Stanley Wiater).
