Description: Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle. Here we offer the scarce first book club edition of Ray Bradbury's sci-fi classic; The Martian Chronicles; published by Doubleday, New York. The book club edition is identified by the absence of a date on the title page and a light blue binding. The book comes wrapped in the highest-quality, newly-remastered facsimile of the first edition dust jacket that you can only get here, printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Boards are edgeworn (please see pics.) Intact endpapers are uninscribed. Very tight and square binding. Very clean, bright, and crisp text. 222 pages; book measures approximately 8 x 5.5-inches. Dust jacket comes wrapped in ph-neutral Mylar, ready to slip into your collection. This scarce sci-fi classic first will make a great centerpiece to your collection or a very special gift.
