It is a must-have for any literature and fiction collectors who appreciate antiquarian books in the science fiction genre. The book is in excellent condition and has been well-preserved for its age. H.G.?s second book published the same year in 1895 as ?The Time Machine? but much harder to encounter than even ?Takes of Time and Space? - another set of short stories. . This book is in very good condition with moderate cover and spine end wear but still showing it?s cool gold imprinted design on the front cover and spine. The interior hinges are unbroken with a name of a previous owner written in period script on the front free endpaper. A few of the pages were sloppily opened as shown and a few pages remain uncut. There?s a bit of shelf lean to this good book along with a few corner bumpings to the corners. The 1895 32 page of ads are present at the of the book. A removable Mylar clear jacket comes with this book ti protect the book from any further wear as the book by this prophetic genius is totally readable with afternoon tea. A rather uncommon book that ranks in spareness along with ?The Plattner Story.? -John Anthony Miller Phantom Bookshop
