What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding

'The First Men in the Moon' is an important science romance novel, following a journey to the Moon undertaken by a businessman and an eccentric scientist.

By H. G. Wells, this work was originally serialised in the 'Strand Magazine' from December 1900 to August 1901.

This work inspired C. S. Lewis, as he strove to write his own science fiction to be the antithesis of Wells' work, though he did enjoy 'The First Men in the Moon'.

Undated, dated from Jisc from a copy held at the British Library.

Stamp of 'George Elliott' to the recto to the front endpaper.

Two pages of publisher's adverts to the rear.

Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart, with some light marks and discolouration to the boards and spine, marks mostly to the rear board. Very minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Prior owner's stamp to the recto to the front endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with some occasional light spots.

Very Good
