Bibliographic comments for Ray_Bradbury.

Reginald1
All entries reconciled with Reginald1, including first edition information:. Issues:
- Reginald1 lists Fahrenheit 451 (1953) as a collection. As a work, Fahrenheit 451 is a novel. It was twice packaged with the short stories "The Playground" and "And the Rock Cried Out", once in the 1953 edition, and later in the Doubleday 1967 edition. For our purposes we will continue to list the work as a novel. As Reginald also lists the 1954 edition as a novel, his 1953 entry is also essentially correct (although he states the 1954 edition was cloth-bound, when it was really asbestos-bound, which I guess we can forgive).
Reginald3
Tuck
All entries reconciled with Tuck, including first edition information:. Issues:
- Reginald1 gives a page count for The Illustrated Man as 252; Tuck gives 256.
- Reginald1 gives a page count for The Vintage Bradbury as 331; Tuck gives v+329.

The existing Bantam publications with contents in ISFDB are split into two groups based on if the story And the Moon Be Still as Bright has a leading dash/hyphen. It's not known yet if the publisher changed the title or if some ISFDB records are in error.

Bantam Books cover artists
Up to at least the 42nd printing the cover artist is not credited. From at least the 45th up through at least the 61st printing Ian Miller is credited with a cover that shows a "grand canyon" styled painting. At some point after the 61st printing a new painting was used that shows two people seated on a bench. The publications still credit Ian Miller but it's not known if this is correct.
- The 91th printing has the "two people" painting and credits Michael Whelan on the back cover, although the copyright page credits Ian Miller. The same on Dragoondelight's 101st printing. ... clarkmci/--j_clark 02:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
