Yes, in addition to the novel, the McMillan version contains
another short novel (from 1943; which makes it as olde as
I...), six short stories and novelets (from 1943 thru 1945),
the one crime short story she wrote in the 50s (from 1957) --
as well as an Introduction by Bradbury, that Afterword by
Connelly, and an Bibliography, including screen
credits....
I do hate it when two books from an author appear under an
identical title, but with different contents, without even a
sub-title, but in this case I was thrilled to find a mint
copy after it was OOP ... particularly for the list price of
$35.00.
I'm currently thoroughly pissed at Dennis, but he gives good
book -- so if you have a chance to pick up this one, do
so!
