Description: THE WAR OF THE WORLDS FIRST FIRST EDITION BY H.G. WELLS Heinemann, London, 1898 First Edition, First Impression, First State An excellent example of this title in the FIRST state with the copyright page date 1898, and without the publishers catalogue. The first state of this title was issued both with a 16 page catalogue AND without the publishers catalogue; and a second state of the first printing was issued with a 32 page catalogue. The book is in excellent condition for this title being firmly bound. The original cloth is in beautiful condition with no rubbing or wear but a spot to the front board. The book has slightly rounded corners with strong black titles to the front and spine. The original end papers are present, the front end paper has slight foxing. The book has no owner names, and no inscriptions. The pages are remarkably clean with but a few stray faded handling marks, otherwise no stains, no bent pages. Overall even toning to the pages. Please see detailed images. No dust jacket as issued. A wonderful example of this title in a sound readable binding! A handsome copy in highly collectible condition, which displays well on the shelf. Comes with a custom clamshell case for presentation.
