I read pretty much everything Bradbury ever wrote before I went to college. And what's more, it may well have been the best Lewes Book Bargain yet. So that was the 96th addition to Beautiful British Book Jackets – and as it turns out the 97th addition was also bought in Lewes just last week, in fact, in one of this fair East Sussex town's many charity shops. Handily, the book's Wikipedia entry lists all the differences between editions, so I don't need to go into them here, except to note that anyone, like me, who owns the Rupert Hart-Davis edition of The Silver Locusts should be aware that "Usher II", which was omitted from that edition, can be found instead in the Hart-Davis edition of The Illustrated Man (but not in the Corgi paperback) and that not only is the table of contents in the Hart-Davis edition of The Illustrated Man different to the Corgi one, but the introductory prologue has been altered to account for having two fewer tales, changingĮighteen Illustrations, eighteen tales.
