About this Item

Hardcover. Condition: Fine/As-New. 4to. size., 2 vols in 1 slipcase. These copies #687 of a limited 1500 printed. Full linen-weave cloth in black and red with 2-tone checkerboarded spines, large-scale author initials blind-stamped on the front covers, with butterscotch colored endpapers and text edges speckled blue and red. With an introduction by J.B. Priestley, and both volumes illustrated by Joe Mugnaini with full-color full-page lithographs, who has also signed on the limitation pages. The books are as-new, and do not appear to have ever been read. The butterscotch-colored board slipcase is F- except for a previous collector's label that has been removed, and some very minor marks along the spine. The glassine jackets are both present and whole, with some tearing. Near-pristine copies of two of Wells' greatest classics. In uncertain economic times, invest your hard-earned money in items of lasting value you can hold in hand and enjoy.
