Just received a copy of Fahrenheit 451-The Authorized Adaption, a graphic novel by Tim Hamilton... first impressions it looks fantastic, and at 148 pages its a longer read than alot of graphic novels,....

a link is on
http://us.macmillan.com/raybradburysfahrenheit451

that has a 13 minute interview with Ray Bradbury..

Just need a sunny day so I can sit and read it

I knew about the book, but that's the first time I've seen that video. It seems there will be more Bradbury graphic novels in the near future.

Thanks for the link, robnz.

Here's a link to a wonderful article about FAHRENHEIT 451, by acclaimed writer Alice Hoffman, which appears on the National Public Radio (NPR) website:

Richard: That is a good article. Inspiring, too. Thanks for the link.

Here's a link to an interview with Ray about the FAHRENHEIT 451 graphic novel that appeared on USA Today's website. Sean Connery had always been my choice to play Beatty in a filmed re-make (and Ray's choice as well, according to the interview), but I must confess I never thought of Nicholas Cage as Montag.

Sweeet! Just ordered my copy last night. Artwork looks good, too. and we have two more to look forward to!

Fanboy: Are you coming down for Ray's birthday party? It's two hours less of a drive than ComicC-on.

Hi jkt - sadly, I won't be, we are going to be on a family camping trip next week .

I have been coming to Los Angeles about once a month lately, to hang with my elderly mom, I have been hoping to make it to a book signing or perhaps a play, if my mom would like to go.

jkt: Is an early arrival advised for assured entry to the store? Also, is the Yestermorrow evening performance in close proximity to the afternoon location?
Thanks,
f

Assignation of a place in line is based on a first come first serve book purchase. If one were to buy a book now one would get a much lower number in line. One may order over the phone or via email:

The theatre is about six miles from the bookshop.

I will contact the folks at M&I soon. Hope to make your acquaintance on 8/22 if all goes well.
