Dark Carnival Hardcover - 1947
by Bradbury, Ray
About this book
This book reprinted many stories previously published by Bradbury in Weird Tales of November 1944 (such as "The Jar"), and other pulp magazines of the era. Several stories saw print for the first time in this edition, however.
First Edition Identification
Signed
copies of the first edition sell in the $2,000 to $5,000 range if of
high quality. Only a little over 3,000 copies of this book were
initially printed. The book as
such was never reprinted, though individual stories were reissued
occasionally. The author refused to allow reprints until a limited
edition was issued with new stories and a new introduction by the author
by Gauntlet Press in 2001.
Because of the unique nature of
this book, it continues to become more highly sought after. The high
quality of Arkham House publishing limits problems with the quality of
this book, with scuffing and minor tears the most common flaw seen.
