ISBN: 0394547039
A handsome First Edition (so stated) signed by the author on the title page. A collection of 23 stories of imagination for which Bradbury is so well known. In fine black cloth & boards, with a colorful dustjacket with only light tinges of aging at the edges of the dustjacket back panels; otherwise fine. With the original price ($17.95).
Bradbury had mentioned in interviews that the 1984 story "The Toynbee Convector" was one of his favorites. Social historian Arnold J. Toynbee's "challenge/response" theory influenced Bradbury, who likely found its optimism in line with his sense of wonder about the future.
