About This Item

Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1951. First Edition. About Fine/About Fine. First edition, first printing with publisher's original packing slip laid in. Bound in publisher's original tan cloth with spine lettered in blackish-brown. Faint stain to base of spine and extending onto boards and offsetting to front endsheet from formerly laid in ephemera, else fine, in a sharp and bright example of the dust jacket, unclipped, with trivial spine wear and color touch-ups to spine ends. A tough title to find approaching anywhere near this condition.

Synopsis

The Illustrated Man is a 1951 book of eighteen science fiction short stories by Ray Bradbury that explores the nature of mankind. While none of the stories have a plot or character connection with the next, a recurring theme is the conflict of the cold mechanics of technology and the psychology of people. The unrelated stories are tied together by the frame device of "the Illustrated Man", a vagrant with a tattooed body whom the unnamed narrator meets.
