The best way to obtain a large number of Ray Bradbury's best stories is to buy THE STORIES OF RAY BRADBURY, which was first published in 1980.

There are one hundred stories in this book, so it's an excellent place to start, and a second hand copy should be available inexpensively.

As douglasSp states, RB's major collected ss are in the hundreds and can be found between a few covers!

Then, there are always the audio and video sources of Mr. Bradbury's 70 years of creativity!
Enjoy:

And when you're done with that, try volume 2, Bradbury Stories. After that, you'll want to start buying the actual collections/novels themselves.

Hi,

okay, I have already read a lot of stories from Ray. I know the collections The illustrated Man and A Medicine for Melancholy and some single stories.

Hm, maybe you have some special ideas of one or the other stories from the later period?

Best regards,
Michael

From the Dust Returned is his best later period novel. If you haven't already, I would suggest reading Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles, and Dandelion Wine.
