As a used bookseller/buyer, occasionally, I find a gem among the ordinary. While searching through shelves of Science Fiction paperbacks about 8 years ago, I spied a hard to find 1st edition book by Ray Bradbury titled Autumn People.Without flipping it open, I dropped it in the box I planned to fill with used books in very-good or better condition I would sell later.
Several weeks went by before I opened Autumn People to read the back of the title page. When I did, I discovered a time capsule, which I have copied below. Some of the surnames might be misspelled, and if so, I apologize in advance.
If any of the people listed here are interested in the book, it is yours for a simple fee. I want to know why and when it was autographed and just who the heck is George?
