First edition of Summer Morning, Summer Night. First edition with Stephen King introduction and 50th Anniversary edition of Dandelion Wine. Two volumes. Signed by the author and by Stephen King. Dandelion Wine is bound in the original Tomislav Tikulin illustrated boards, in the Amos Sewell illustrated dustwrapper. Summer Morning is bound in red cloth with yellow titles to the spine, in the author illustrated dustwrapper. Both housed in the red cloth slipcase. Both are illustrated in black and white by 'The Respective Artists', Dandelion Wine also with illustrations by Tomislav Tulkin. Both are fine copies, the bindings square and tight, bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the fine original dustwrappers that are without fading, loss or tears. The publisher's slipcase is structurally sound with some wear (resulting in a little loss of the surface cloth) and a few minor marks to the top edge. Scarce in this form.
A deluxe edition, issued in a limited edition of 100 copies, this example is numbered 93 and signed by Ray Bradbury in light blue and Stephen King in dark blue ink on the limitation page of Dandelion Wine. Edited by Donn Albright and Jon Eller. With a brand-new introduction by Stephen King, this 50th Anniversary production of Dandelion Wine includes all the original illustrations that accompanied the individual stories when they first saw print in the magazines of the 1940s and '50s. The second book: Summer Morning, Summer Night, features all the other Greentown, Illinois stories, some of which are previously unpublished.
