Mr. Levin’s Great Starting Points on Ray Bradbury

In our print collection

• Do a subject search using the on-line catalog. Type the following: Ray Bradbury (Of course!) You’ll find lots of his books in our collection! Many times the “forward” in the novel will have some background information on Mr. Bradbury.

• Check the general encyclopedias (i.e. World Book, Encyclopedia Americana, Compton’s, and others) by first using the index (usually found in the last volume) or by looking up his last name.
