Yeah, I hope someone found that! I've actually seen the yearbook which belonged to Ray's short story teacher to whom he dedicated Something Wicked, with his inscription to her!

Contact the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies http://iat.iupui.edu/bradburyc...ray-bradbury-studies and see if they are interested and in shape to make you a fair offer. If not, they may know the estimated value of such an item! Good luck!

SteveMB: Is this the copy that was inscribed to Aunt Neva forty years after the publication date because the first copy he inscribed to her was lost?
