Rare Book of the Day - S is for Space, Ray Bradbury. Signed First Edition.

Another Bradbury for you guys, and this one is probably my favorite dust jacket of all time. S is for Space is one of Bradbury's classic short story collections, published in 1966. The striking cover was designed by Joe Mugnaini, an artist whom Bradbury first encountered after seeing one of his lithographs in an art shop window in 1951. He was soon commissioned by Bradbury to illustrate numerous covers and illustrations for his books, usually based on rough sketches he did himself. But none of them were quite as exemplary as this one. This is the first printing, signed by Bradbury:
