I certainly do! For the benefit of those who don't get the reference, this is where it stems from. Mrs Braling II must have introduced Braling II to this product along with Marmite, PG Tips and HP Sauce!

Out of this World (Science Fiction but not as you know it) by Mike Ashley

Needless to say Ray is mentioned numerous times.

Out of This World looks to be fascinating.

Yesterday, at a library sale, I purchased a first thus edition of the 1975 Knopf of DANDELION WINE. Very good condition, dj intact with new intro by Ray Bradbury. Only $2.
So, DANDELION WINE. Smiler
Here is a scan of the back flap of dust jacket.

Indeed she did! And much more besides! She's in Manchester now = I hope she'll smuggle in some Lancashire cheese & bacon when she returns!

Funny you should ask this.....
I have a pretty extensive book collection (all science fiction and Fantasy).
Lots of the books are "OLDER" than me....Beleive me, that makes them old!!
Every once in awhile I go and pull down an old paperback or two (in this case two of Bradbury's).
Right now sitting next to me at my desk...."R is for Rocket" and "S is for Space"....both excellent books full of fantastic short stories....both I beleive are out of print now.
So, Thats what I'm Reading..

Regards,

Dave S.

Great books, indeed, DaveS!
Both have been reprinted several times.
Phil's site a few posts above has the details.

Sounds interesting!
I always liked the font used in The Prisoner series.
Brilliant choice.
Don't know what it's called, though; something with serifs.

It's called "Village", apparently, and is derived from the Albertus family. Or so it says here:
