Amazing but why no physical copy?
This book is really good and I would really like to see a print copy.
A Conversation on the Art of Writing
Ray Bradbury speaks from a time that never changes: his clever commentary and crude metaphors are timeless and relevant, even today. Full of wit and snark, his lectures say as much about the man as they do about his work and process; Bradbury’s method for teaching is down-to-earth and real, tossing his audience into the craft of writing with fervent enthusiasm. Both intimidating and encouraging, the repeated mantra of “collect what you love, and use it” provides a basic map to success for the budding author or poet. An equally entertaining and educational read, this book is highly recommended.
