RAY BRADBURY EASTER EGG!!!

For those of you who do not know what an easter egg is, it's a hidden reference to something else in a book, story, movie, etc. you can find more at www.eeggs.com

On the cover of "One More For The Road"
(i have the one with the hitch-hiking skeleton), there is a road sign on the right side of the cover that says "451", and obvious reference to "Fahrenheit 451"

At first i thought it might have been a mistake, but then i saw the cover with Laurel and Hardy and everybody else in the car, and, sure enough, there was the very same road sign (this time at the BOTTOM of the cover) with the "451".

Just something that's kind of cool.

Trixta, caught both eggs, how did you like the typography of his name on the hardbacks dustcover. I bought the paperback just for the cover, the skeleton is classic.

I thought that the name on the dustcover was very clever, mixing both first and last name. And, yes, the skeleton is classic. his expression and posture is just golden.
