Jacket illustration by Roy Sanford.

The story "Usher II" was taken out of this release and replaced with "The Fire Balloons." This copy is in fine condition, with light foxing to the text edges, a few pages at the front and back, and the dust jacket as the only flaw. The binding is tight. An essential volume for the Bradbury completist. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
