Finally, the table in the middle of the room, south of the desk, is a collectable Schultz-design patio table with a blue top and metal legs designed for rugged use. It was used for decades as a working table where Bradbury used to keep anything and everything in a constant parade of projects. His daughters said that they hadn’t seen the top of the table since the mid-1960’s.

Today it displays various Bradbury publications, ranging from some of his science fiction genre pulp magazines to the Collier’s magazine mainstream publication of his time travel story “A Sound of Thunder.” Two of Bradbury’s offprints for his 1960s Life Magazine articles, which helped to sustain public interest in the evolving Apollo Space Program, are also part of the tabletop display.

This concludes the Bradbury Center Tour.
