FAHRENHEIT 451
Ray Bradbury
This is the classic book "Fahrenheit 451" which should be in every book collector's collection. Virtually in every library in dozens of foreign languages.
This is the 1953 Ballantine Number 41 first edition, which came out prior to the hard bound edition, again published by Ballantine Books in NY. This book, shown below, is in very good condition. The interior is nice and not yellowed as pages I have seen on other editions. The title page has been signed by Ray Bradbury. I personally presented this classic book for Ray Bradbury for his signature. I will issue a Letter of Assurance with the book to protect your investment.
This book will be what Ray Bradbury will be remembered for. It has never gone out of print since 1953, which is remarkable. As recently as Oct. 2006 there have been attempts to ban the book from the public school system, another indication that the book was far ahead of its time. If you were to get just one book from Ray Bradbury for your archive or library, this would be the title to get.
The spine creases are from the actual binding of the book and look worse in the photo than in real life. The edge of the front has a crease where the book was opened, probably once, when Ray Bradbury signed it. The book is square and tight, no regluing or sophistication which shows up in many many copies. The front cover is nice and retains the majority of its original gloss from 1953.
