BRADBURY, Ray

Fahrenheit 451

First edition, binding state D (no established priority). Slight rubbing to the spine ends, tiny tear to the edge of one leaf in the text, else fine in a lightly soiled, very good plus dustwrapper with a shallow chip at the crown, and some of the usual fading to the red "451" on the spine. Signed by the author. Francois Truffaut spent five years writing the screenplay for his 1966 film version with Oskar Werner and Julie Christie. It was the director's first film in color, as well as his first English language film. A nice copy of a very scarce Ballantine hardcover and a highspot of science-fiction literature.
