An author that needs little introduction, these special hardcover editions of Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 commissioned by Minotauro mark what would have been Ray Bradbury’s 100th birthday.

While most cover designs for Fahrenheit 451 make use of fire or fire-inducing tools, our cover cooks' choice of ashes, the aftermath of a book burning, seeks a fresh homage to this dystopian classic. The timeless feel of Franklin Gothic, one of our cover cooks' favorite typefaces, printed on uncoated felt-marked paper, encompasses the literary quality of the novel. The die cut jacket shows the centennial commemorative logo foil stamped in silver on the black hardcover, a design that emphasises both covers' commemorative visual identity.
