Writers, do you ever think that even though you know you can write something that maybe you shouldn’t because there is so much out there already and perhaps new things should only be the very best, the most essential?

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢
