About This Item
Stated First Edition; A Fine book in a Near Fine price clipped dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed to noted collector Matt Stiller with an illustration in multicolor to the entire front free paper. A beautiful copy of this early Bradbury novel, greatly enhanced by the unique signing/drawing; rare to find the book in this condition, particularly with the personal attention Bradbury took to the signing. This book is in near fine condition with a square tight binding, multi-colored lettering over bright yellow boards, and clean white pages throughout; the book does show a few small tape stains to the signed page. Housed in a very clean and bright near fine dust jacket that has benefitted from some invisible expert restoration and shows only a light soiling to the back panel, else fine. Overall, an excellent copy of a book difficult to find in near fine or better condition, especially with Bradbury's signature. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship well packaged in a sturdy box.
Synopsis
Dandelion Wine is a 1957 semi-autobiographical novel by Ray Bradbury, taking place in the summer of 1928 in the fictional town of Green Town, Illinois — a pseudonym for Bradbury's childhood home of Waukegan, Illinois. The novel developed from the short story "Dandelion Wine" which appeared in the June 1953 issue of Gourmet magazine. The title refers to a wine made with dandelion petals and other ingredients, commonly citrus fruit.
