I have this edition :) Well, I ordered it yesterday as a gesture. I have another book with Sam Weber's illustrations, The Lord of the Flies, and it is one of the most beautiful editions on my bookshelves.
My copy of Fahrenheit is old and yellow. The cover price is .60 cents I got for .50 cents along with Brave New World I was 16. I still love Ray Bradbury and I'll miss him. That illustration is a thing of beauty.
I kind of like rereading the books that I haven't touched since I was a teenager: usually it turns out to be a whole different story, lol. One factoid that I precociously learned from F451 is that it was dangerous to be a pedestrian, and so for the longest time this was my personal irrational phobic headcanon for US (because clearly, Europe is on Mars).
