another limited edition. It is a truly definitive compilation of
the core stories featured in the first edition, additional Mars
stories written by Mr. Bradbury, seven new stunning
pieces of full-color art by artist Edward Miller, two film
scripts written by Mr. Bradbury (never seen before),
and an array of fascinating behind-the-scenes material
that provides a much richer dimension to this classic
work than ever before.
The trim size of the book is 8 1/2" x 11"
The book is bound and slipcased in a silk binding and traycase.
Limited to 750 copies—numbered & signed by Ray Bradbury
Retail price is $325 plus shipping charges.

Features of The Definitive Edition
Richard Matheson, acclaimed author and screenwriter of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES
in its original television mini-series incarnation, has written an Introduction to the Screenplay section of our edition. He
will also be signing all our editions on a separate signature page.
All the original stories from the first edition of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES;
A section featuring other Mars stories by Mr. Bradbury that have never before appeared in THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES;
Seven new color paintings by artist Edward Miller;
A film script of the book written by Mr. Bradbury in 1963 (in facsimile form);
A film script of the book written by Mr. Bradbury in 1993 (in facsimile form);
Neither script has ever been published prior to this edition; the differences in the two scripts
are truly remarkable and provide a real insight into how Mr. Bradbury's approach to the work has changed over the years;
A fascinating collection of behind-the scenes documents, including "Why I Wrote My
Book," written by Mr. Bradbury a month after the publication of TMC and never-before seen.
