READ THE BOOK >>By Mark e Can someone tell me where i can find a study guide for The Illustrated Man? I need it for extra credit >>By Draven Actually met Ray Bradbury -- twice -- at book signings here in Chicago. Brought him some chocolates and made a card. Was so darn excited. When it came my turn to approach the table, got all goofy and couldn't speak -- just stood there grinning. As we were leaving, he turned, threw me a kiss and said "Love ya, dear." >>By bones It Came From Outer Space Author:Ray Bradbury Edited by: Donn Albright 448 pages Due out March 2004 Only through Gauntlet Press It never ceases to amaze me how much effort Gauntlet Press places in the creation of their publications. Last week I received Ray Bradbury's "It came From Outer Space". Honestly, I'm speechless. I know, I generally always give books a good rating BUT - frankly, this book is breathtaking. This is a necessary include for any Sci-Fi or Bradbury collection. WOW! Lets start from the top shall we? First, the cover is simply stunning. While I wish the back of the cover were really the front of the cover, I believe that the way the cover is done it gives the book an edge. Bradbury does the front artwork, and the back has a poster picture, which gives the title of the book. Never the less the cover alone is incredible and made me drool. What is in this book, you ask? Quite literally everything you ever wanted to know about "It Came From Outer Space". A book of this style has never before been published. Within this tome you will find exclusive material such as the controversy behind "It Came From Outer Space", Correspondences both to and from Ray Bradbury, Screen treatments, never before published short stories, original ads and more. The lettered edition of this book includes an additional section, which includes and introduction by Jonathan Eller, a letter from Mathilde Moser to Ray Bradbury and, the unfinished screenplay entitled "Face of the Deep". This book can be purchased in 3 different formats: Signed Numbered edition Numbered with slipcase Traycased lettered edition. The only difference in these various editions is that the signed and numbered edition has an extra section. All are hardcover, measure 8 1/2" x 11", and prices range from $125.00 - $500.00 Those that order through GP can order the Signed numbered edition for only $100.00. Another benefit for those who order directly through GP Is that you will also receive the previously unpublished chapbook “Is That You Herb?” by Ray Bradbury One of the things about this book that really just touched me was when Bradbury discusses how he met up with Spielberg after watching "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and found out that "It Came From Outer Space" was the inspiration behind the Spielberg hit. Simply beautiful! In my opinion, this book is a powerful and personal journey through the highlights of Bradbury. You can feel the emotions that Bradbury must have experienced in his emergent period, and it just empowers your soul. This book shows you a boy with a love for a genre and the fortitude to embark upon his dream, making it his life. I strongly urge you purchase this book if you have any ounce of sense in you. This is most definitely the quintessential piece for any Sci-Fi/Bradbury fan. 5 Stars without a doubt! >>By Igor I agree...read the book. Bradbury can take a confirmed "I hate reading...reading is for nerds and jack -asses" to a tremendos fan of tremendous writing and social commentary. Peace Al >>By Al C I read The Illustrated Man when I was 9 years old. Went from Where the Wild Things Are to that book. I found it very imaginative and well worth the read. I never looked back and got involved with the Borroughs Mars books. But I will read It Came from Outer Space. Did it get an ESPY? >>By noname1 i am listening to the audio cd of fehrenheit 451, and it is amazing! such eloquent use of the language.. so sensuously descriptive. very odd that i had not heard of this wonderful author earlier. >>By m&m Fahrenheit 451 is very good. >>By nOel_x3 it's probably just me but ray's writing has never seemed to me like "Science Fiction". extremely intelligent, yes. captivating and eloquent, yes. but not really sci fi. i love the man for what he has done for me through his writing. >>By isaacbrockthelostprophet Well, maybe not a 'Science fiction' writer in the modern meaning, but definitely unique -check out "The Halloween tree'. He managed to turn death into a celebration of the life. >>By Anima pia You are not logged in. To access all functionality, you can log in via Flork.
