Without Sorcery by Theodore Sturgeon

Wondering if anyone out there can tell me where I might read Ray's introduction to Sturgeon's first short story collection, Without Sorcery? I love Ted's work nearly as much as I love Ray's, and reading Jonathan Eller's books on Ray I came across this tidbit of info on Ray's having written the intro for Ted, and then its having been removed when the book was reissued and retitled in paperback as Not Without Sorcery. I googled around a bit and found no trace of the intro anywhere online, then thought one of you intrepid adventurers might have a line on it? Thanks. ;^)

The original doesn't seem to be on Internet Archive or Google Books and is very expensive when found.

profsmith, the 1948 first edition of Theodore Sturgeon's WITHOUT SORCERY, where Ray Bradbury's introduction first appeared, is, as dandelion points out, an expensive book these days. However, Ray's introduction to WITHOUT SORCERY was later reprinted in the book THE ULTIMATE EGOIST: THE COMPLETE STORIES OF THEODORE STURGEON VOLUME 1, published in 1994 by North Atlantic Books. The latter book is not nearly as expensive, and you can find copies relatively easily on book selling sites such as The Advanced Book Exchange (ABE). If you click on the link below, it will take you to a list of copies currently available on ABE:
