Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Wells, H.G.
Title: The Time Machine: An Invention
Place Published: New York
Publisher:Henry Holt and Company
Date Published: 1895
Description:

vii, 216 + [6] ad pp. With frontispiece illustration and tissue-guard. 15.5x9 cm (6x3½"), original tan buckram, stamped and lettered in purple, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. First Edition.

Author's first novel about a nameless scientist who travels into the far future to find advanced levels of battling between classes. Curry's first printing and "A" state binding of the tan buckram stamped in purple, with author's name misprinted "H.S. Wells" on the title page (and in the "Author's Note" following title-page). Later issues were bound in red or maroon cloth and corrected Wells' name on the title page. "The Time Machine might be considered the first work of modern science-fiction, and it is still the classic statement of an important subgenre. A remarkable work, and necessary reading" - Bleiler, Science-Fiction 2325; Currey p.524.

Condition

Cloth quite rubbed, some soiling to extremities; offsetting to endpapers, with a spot of rubbing to front pastedown, very good.
