New Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and George R. R. Martin at the Printer
A couple of screenplays and a throwback to the Ace Doubles — our latest offering to the printer gods.
Ray Bradbury’s masterful screenplay to John Huston’s classic film adaptation is nestled safely at our printer, complete with a Rockwell Kent frontispiece, as well as insightful introductions and afterwords. Moby Dick: the Screenplay is an entirely new way to experience one of the landmarks of American cinema, wrapped inside a gorgeous Jon Armstrong dust jacket illustration.
Joining Mr. Bradbury’s screenplay at the printer is a classic of a different sort. Ubik: the Screenplay is Philip K. Dick’s reimagining of his classic novel, replete with an intro by Tim Powers, and an afterword by Tad Williams. As Powers notes, “it almost seems as though we’re getting a purer version of UBIK—something closer to the original conception than the text of the novel.”
Our third title sent to the printer this week is George R. R. Martin’s throwback to the Ace Doubles of decades past. This time we’re treated to two long out-of-print novelettes, Starlady and Fast-Friend with a winning wraparound cover by Martina Pilcerova. The signed limited edition of Starlady — only 200 copies — is nearly sold out, so if that’s the version that’s caught your eye, don’t hesitate to get your order in.
