dandelionContact 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!

jktSteveMB: 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?
