Book Catalogue Reviews - June - 2008 Issue

A Variety from Waverly Books



How can a book be both a 40th anniversary edition and a first edition? It probably can't, but item 27 is Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles: The Fortieth Anniversary Edition. It states "first edition" on the copyright page. I think the correct terminology for this would be "first thus." This 1990 anniversary edition is signed by the author. $150.
