Author:Ray Bradbury

Bibliographic comments for Ray_Bradbury.

Reginald1

All entries reconciled with Reginald1, including first edition information:. Issues:

• Reginald1 lists Fahrenheit 451 (1953) as a collection. As a work, Fahrenheit 451 is a novel. It was twice packaged with the short stories "The Playground" and "And the Rock Cried Out", once in the 1953 edition, and later in the Doubleday 1967 edition. For our purposes we will continue to list the work as a novel. As Reginald also lists the 1954 edition as a novel, his 1953 entry is also essentially correct (although he states the 1954 edition was cloth-bound, when it was really asbestos-bound, which I guess we can forgive).

Tuck

All entries reconciled with Tuck, including first edition information:. Issues:

• Reginald1 gives a page count for The Illustrated Man as 252; Tuck gives 256.
• Reginald1 gives a page count for The Vintage Bradbury as 331; Tuck gives v+329.
