The Bradbury
Chronicles

Main Index
William F. Nolan's first book published was about his friend Ray Bradbury. Bill started out of course, admiring Ray's work, much the same way that Bill and I became friends.

With no computers the to post up a website in tribute to an authors work back then, Bill used the only medium available to him to honor Ray's work, a book.

Bill's biographical and bibliographical work on Ray Bradbury stands to this day as some of the finest work on Bradbury ever done.

One of Bill's rarest and most interesting items. In the back of the "Ray Bradbury Review" Bill compiled "The Ray Bradbury Index." In that publication he commented that he would like to do an expanded update later and it would probably sell for around a dime. And here it is. The updated index appeared first in the fanzine "Shangri-LA" in the winter of 1953. The item to your right being an offprint copy.
