Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book. Signed by Author(s) A square solid tight clean unread unused copy. Long-talked about by Bradbury enthusiasts, MASKS was to be Ray Bradbury's second novel (he considers THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES his first novel). In the late-forties Bradbury applied for a Guggenheim grant and submitted an early version of MASKS. While he didn't get the grant, Bradbury continued to tinker with it until 1952 or 1953. Editor Donn Albright has assembled fragments into a cohesive story so the reader can compare Bradbury's first draft with later thoughts on the proposed novel. This is a signed limited edition signed by Ray Bradbury. There will be no other edition of MASKS. Besides the MASKS, the book contains 5 never-before-published stories Bradbury wrote during this period, chosen by Donn Albright and Ray Bradbury. Our lettered edition contains variations on two of the stories. As always we will keep prices for this signed limited edition reasonable. The six of the previously unpublished stories appearing in this publication are: "Walker in the Night" "The Drothldo" "The Dancing Magician" (aka "Gallagher the Great")| "In the Eye of the Beholder" "The Face of Natalie" "They Never Got Mad" For the lettered of Masks there is: (1) An alternate version of "Walker in the Night" (2) The previously unpublished "A Study In Bronze"-fragments of a short story by Bradbury written in 1948-49 Full-Leather, sewn in marker, illustrated endpapers THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY.
