Gauntlet Press is now taking orders for Ray's new collection, DAWN TO DUSK, scheduled for publication this Fall. Here is a link to Gauntlet's website with information about the book, as well as how to order:
We also have good news for those purchasing the lettered edition (selling fast). Bradbury’s original (never before published) opening to "The Illustrated Man" will appear ONLY in the lettered edition.
And, a second related short story, “The Tattooed Man”, will also appear ONLY in this edition. “The Tattooed Man”'s final paragraph has some of Bradbury’s most graphic, gripping and unsettling writing you’ll see. It’s proof of Bradbury’s greatness as a writer that he can make one’s skin crawl without resorting to blood and gore–just good writing.
Those purchasing the signed numbered and unsigned editions shouldn’t feel cheated as all editions will feature two previously unpublished versions of Bradbury’s “The Black Ferris.” One is Bradbury’s 25-page handwritten teleplay. The other is the teleplay typeset for easier reading.

Thanks, Doug, for that link. Excellent news! I had the privilege of reading that screenplay in the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies, and it is certainly different to (and yet remarkably similar to!) SWTWC.
"You Must Never Touch the Cage" - written around 1955 is what is exciting to me! Unpublished and previously unknown stories from this time period are like the rarest treasure.

We have just found out that Ray Bradbury's DAWN TO DUSK: CAUTIONARY TRAVELS will ship to us by the end of the week and we’ll have them by the end of next week. We’ll begin shipping numbered and unsigned copies (without the slipcase) first. By the time we ship the numbered and unsigned copies our slipcases will have arrived and we’ll ship those. Traycases for the lettered edition are just a few weeks away. Few copies of the signed edition remains so we suggest you order now before we’re sold out of the signed numbered and lettered editions.

I got a chance to get an advance review copy of it and really liked it! We also had a review of it in the latest issue of Dark Discoveries of it (#18).
