There's one story and one essay by Ray Bradbury in this collection. The rest of the stories in this tribute anthology are by other established science fiction writers.
I thought most of the short stories were okay. With Listia backed up, I guess this volume is headed for eBay. =)

Twenty-two authors paid tribute to Ray Bradbury in 1991 by contributing stories to this collection. Most are inspired by or extensions of other Bradbury stories, like The Martian Chronicles or Fahrenheit 451. Some even try to ape his style, with mixed results. I enjoyed the volume, though there are only a few standouts: Bradbury's own contribution "The Troll," about a bridge warden who meets up with a skeptic; Gregory Benford's "Centigrade 233," about another dystopian reason to burn books; and
