My List!
I�ve been trying to find & acquire everything (or nearly everything) that Ray has written. That is, aside from all the photocopied, workshop material, ULTRA hard stuff to find. Below is what I own. Any chance I could get a little help determining what I still need to get? Thanks!

Zen in the Art of Writing
The Toynbee Convector

Whew! That�s everything. I know I need With a Cat for a Comforter, Dinosaur Tales (Stories?) and Classic Stories Vol. 2. Is there anything else I�m missing?

Hi Andrew.

There are various places on the Web you could look for information:
http://isfdb.tamu.edu/search.html
(type in "Ray Bradbury" and you'll get a long list of stuff both in and out of print
http://home.wlv.ac.uk/~in5379
(all the main books listed)
http://www.amazon.com
(choose "Books" and search for Bradbury, Ray and you'll find every title currently in print, and many that aren't)

I hope this helps.

I've scoured almost every online resource available, but none of them are usually thorough. That is, there's always an item or two (or three, or four) that isn't included.

At this point I was hoping to hear from some of the experts on this board as to what I may (or may not) be missing.

You might see if you can locate a copy of Lloyd Currey's excellent science fiction bibliography:

Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors. A Comprehensive Bibliography.

It was published in the late 1970s, but it is complete to that time.

You DO NOT know what you are getting yourself into... It is bigger than mind or man...
Here's one title, I mentiond just a few previous posts ago: http://www.spaceagecity.com/bradbury/twinh.htm

Lots of posts ago, in "Resources", I believe, posted something entitled, 'What's in Bowling Green?' There is a library there that has many, many things of Ray's. And it's all listed. You may find a title you never heard of...

And there is many small publications, small press stuff. Like Roy Squires. He published mighty fine examples in the art of printing, of Ray's material... from Roy Squires Press...
And there are others.
For instance, I 'believe' there are at least two original titles ...published as miniature books...

Whatever you do, DON'T go looking for these books:

Journey to Far Metaphor
Kaleidoscope and
One Timeless Spring

They DON'T exist! They are just titles the publisher lists to frustrate and fool fans!

As I understand, "They Have Not Seen the Stars" is not quite complete, as it omits certain poems which appeared in small press collections. Some titles you still need are:

The Anthem Sprinters
The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit and
Pillar of Fire (play collections)
Tomorrow Midnight and
The Autumn People (comic collections)
Yestermorrow (essay collection)
and, of course, the elusive but essential
Dark Carnival

Good luck!

Do you have "The Ghosts of Forever" on the list? Ray Bradbury/Aldo Sessa. (Oversize hardcover). Rizzoli International Publications, NY. 1980.
