Ray Bradbury SIGNED
"The Halloween Tree" (Knopf, 1972)
1st Edition, 1st Printing

FlatSigned by Ray Bradbury, one of the greatest and most popular speculative fiction authors of the twentieth century!  This is Bradbury's fifth published novel and it includes the beautiful illustrations of Joseph Mugnaini!  A fantastic collector's item!  Signature has been certified by Global Authentication Inc., the premier authentication service!  Hardcover in original jacket with a signature and an authentication sticker on the title page (GAI # GV 402751). 

First edition is stated on the copyright page and no subsequent printings are listed.  The original price has been clipped from the front jacket flap.  Otherwise, the jacket is in VERY GOOD condition with very little edgewear or age-toning.  Some faint bumping and creasing around some edges, some tiny ripples in plastic coating, spine is sunned, some faint toning throughout, other three flap corners intact.  Book is in VERY GOOD condition and is tightly bound with clean, crisp pages inside.  Original black cloth-bound boards with orange and silver lettering, some faint rubbing on surfaces and bottom edges, spine has a slight forward lean.  Pages have orange top stain and are very clean with no stray marks or inscriptions from previous owners.

FlatSigned means HAND SIGNED on the page, not personalized (as in "To Billy") or signed on an attached sticker or bookplate. A book which has been FlatSigned is almost always a better investment and is far more desirable than a book that is personalized or contains a signed sticker/bookplate.

About FlatSigned Rare Books
What does flatsigned mean? Back to Top
The world s best-selling author, Stephen King, accidentally coined the term flatsigned. King needed to differentiate whether he should sign only his name (flatsigned) or inscribe the book to an individual.

In talking with his office, I found out that Mr. King incorrectly believed that this term was being used in the book-collecting world. At that time, it was not a term used in the industry. Frustratingly, there was no true distinctive term given to books inscribed to a previous owner or those signed on bookplates then stuck into a book versus those just signed by the author, or flatsigned.
