Ray Bradbury The October Country Ballantine, 1955, Signed First Edition

Ray Bradbury - The October Country - Ballantine, 1955, First Edition. The white of the jacket generally bright but with a few areas of rubbing, red to spine a little faded and a short closed tear to the top.

Some bumping to the spine tips. Boards in decent shape with just a little bumping to the tips. Probably Currey's binding B (dull red cloth), state 2 (logo correct orientation on spine).

Could be binding C (red cloth) though as it's hard to distinguish the cloth types. Either way, there's no priority established.

This copy is signed by Bradbury to the title page, but also inscribed by Joe Mugnaini to??? \ Joe Mugnaini - see image. Mugnaini's name has been underlined too, given the pen, probably by Bradbury.

A nice copy and signed by both. Cover art / illustrations by Joe Mugnaini [5562, Hyraxia Books]. We are members of ILAB, the ABA and the PBFA.
