Great pics. I love books.
Nice looking books and artwork. Thanks for the pics.
I love Bradbury, have read many of his books, but don't own even one of his limiteds. Actually, I don't believe I had seen one before. Till today.
These are some of the nicest books I've ever seen. Just gorgeous.
I am VERY jealous!!

I also have the Arkham House original Dark Carnival (first Bradbury book publication) and the 2001 Gauntlet S/L release #78 of 700; signed by Ray Bradbury and Clive Barker; but no photos at this point. Maybe this weekend...
Not so well known. But for me, as Ray Bradbury and Anthologie collector a MUST HAVE.

Good stuff!
Ray Bradbury was the first author that I ever wrote a fan letter to back in 1989. Here is what I received back, including his personal stationery.

Thanks for posting these. One of the first field trips we did in my art classes in college was visit a book binder. It was a really cool small garage like structure filled with books and machinery. I thought it was so cool, but the project the artist/binder was finishing was a cover or slip case for Martian Chronicles that had a cool rocket ship or blinds of a rocket ship on the cover/case. I have no idea if someone commissioned that or if it was an actual edition. I remember thinking that was something I could do, then came computers.
Thanks for spurring this memory, I'm going to look up if that was an edition now.
When i bought several signed limited books this year from an other collector, i become this book as present :dance:

PS Publishing is offering signed slipcased editions of "The Machineries of Joy" and "Long After Midnight" for 49.99 pounds (for both). That seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Beautiful book out of the wraps, the only problem is that the black cloth exterior can get smudged up pretty quick if your not careful. Kind of takes the joy out of Holding the book.
:doh:
I love the book cover.
Very nice book! Something that I would be interested in but somehow was not aware it was in the works. It just came out?
Ya,
It was released not too long ago. heres a link to the sub press page. the "limited to 1000" is actually a misprint. there is only 500 numbered and 26 lettered. you can read why at the link.

I have 2 copies. one is up on febay, and the other one is staying in my collection:)
Damn, the nice sig lim "The Machineries of Joy" and "Long After Midnight" offer and now this sig lim Maritian Chronicles.
The PS set... very cheap, but unfortunately I've spent all my money just for some other books.
(Inkluding 6 sig lim Bradbury Books :rolleyes2:)
