Michael provides introduction for R is for Rocket special edition, from PS Publishing

Just out from PS Publishing is a hardcover re-issue of Ray Bradbury's classic 1962 collection, R IS FOR ROCKET. With a forward by Ray Harryhausen and reproductions of the artwork that accompanied the stories' original publication in magazines and pulps, this volume is an absolute must for all Bradbury fans. There is a companion re-issue of S IS FOR SPACE, too, with contributions by Tim Powers and Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

Michael said: 'Having been one of the countless small boys whose imagination was fired into life by Ray Bradbury's work, I felt incredibly honoured to have been a part of this project. PS Publishing have done a truly stunning job.'




The collection is issued in three states: Hardcover, Boxed and a deluxe 3-Volume Slipcased Edition containing R IS FOR ROCKET, S IS FOR SPACE and a further volume of material which will not be made available in any other format.
