About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1937. Wells reconsidered Mars and Martians in this speculative novel with "...a fantastic idea, quite fantastic, but neither impossible nor incredible" (from publisher). This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of the First Edition. Black cloth binding with white titling on the spine. Clean text; 199 pages. A solid copy, but with these issues: a faint bookstore stamp on the front paste-down; PO label on the FFEP; otherwise unmarked; corners not bumped, but there is a bump to the top of the front cover. The wonderful dustwrapper is complete, but has been clipped. There is some edgewear and chips to the head of the spine and front upper cover. There is a tear across the spine that continues up the rear panel. In an archival plastic protector.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good (Minus)/Very Good (Minus). 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
