Bradbury, Ray edited by Donn Albright. Somewhere a Band Is Playing: Signed Limited Edition #/600. Gauntlet Press, Colorado Springs, 2007.

Price: US$144.50 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: A square solid tight clean unread unused copy. A Limited Edition of 600 copies still in original publisher's shrink wrap of which this is an unknown number. //////// SOMEWHERE A BAND IS PLAYING is a new novel by Ray Bradbury which he has been toying with for 50 years, and is possibly Bradbury's best piece of long fiction since Fahrenheit 451 and Something This Way Comes. Reporter James Cardiff is drawn to a town that wasn't on the map. There was a story to be told. Summerton was paradise - or pretty close to it. Delicious food and wine. Sweet air to breathe. Lush green beautiful lawns. And, good company. But something didn't sit right with Cardiff. There were no children to be seen. No baseball bats, no basketball hoops, and an abandoned school. There were no doctors and a most unusual cemetery, as well. And then there was Nef. Both beautiful and alluring, Neff knew things about Cardiff she simply couldn't. Yes, in Summerton there was the smell of mystery, some hidden secret in the air. But, if Cardiff sniffed out the story and, worse, wrote it for all to read would the consequences be worth the telling of a good tale? Edited by Donn Albright, the Gauntlet edition of SOMEWHERE A BAND IS PLAYING will contain segments Bradbury wrote which he never finished, the beginnings of a script he never finished, plus the completed manuscript. Also, William F. Nolan will be writing an introduction for the book in addition to signing the Lettered edition. The jacket art and design is by Harry O. Morris and Editor Donn Albright.
