Hardcover. Signed and numbered limited edition, one of 750 copies. It Came From Outer Space, edited by Don Albright, collects four screen treatments by Ray Bradbury for the 1953 Universal Pictures science fiction film directed by Jack Arnold, together with an interview, unpublished short stories, letters, and documents relating to Bradbury’s involvement. Over 400 pages. Signed by Ray Bradbury on the limitation page. Condition: an As New copy with one noticeable flaw - there is a transit bump to the lower edge of the lower board with resulting crease, and a crease to the dustjacket at that same place, but this is obviously an unread copy in excellent, clean, otherwise unmarked condition.

Released in 1953, It Came From Outer Space was one of the first 3-D films made. Rumors about Bradbury's participation with the film have run rampant for years. Bradbury did not write the final screenplay -- good news, actually, as Bradbury retained their rights -- but he wrote four treatments and gets story credit. These screen treatments have NEVER been published before.
We are also pleased to announce that Donn Albright, who edited our edition of DARK CARNIVAL in 2001, is now editing IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE. He has done a FANTASTIC job in pulling together the original Bradbury typed pages of the outlines and treatments, gathering more bonus material than we could have ever imagined possible, and convincing Bradbury to allow us to use never before published short stories in this book.
The Gauntlet edition of IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE is more than just a printing of the outlines and treatments which Bradbury wrote for the film. It is an in-depth study of the evolution of the film. The book is filled with:
Photos
Original ads
Marketing posters
Reviews
Letters
Never before published Bradbury short stories
Insightful essays and introductions from Bradbury Scholars Jon Eller and Bill Touponce
The book is an oversized book, 8 1/2" x 11", so as to keep intact the size of the script pages.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
