Description
One of Twenty Presentation Sets of the Atlantic Edition of the Works of H. G. Wells, Inscribed by Wells to His Brother
H. G. Wells. The Works of H. G. Wells. London:
T. Fisher Unwin, Ltd., 1924-1927. Atlantic Edition. One of
twenty presentation copies out of a total issue of 620 sets for
Great Britain, each signed by Wells. This copy (unnumbered), is
inscribed by Wells to his brother at the top of the signed
limitation page: "F. J. Wells his Set / The Fezzer / from the
Busswacker". Complete in twenty-eight octavo volumes (only five
shown in the photo). Frontispieces inserted in each volume.
Publisher's full red buckram over beveled boards, front cover with
Wells' initials stamped in gilt in the center, spines double-ruled
and lettered in gilt. Spines a bit dull, some rubbing and soiling
to bindings, a few volumes with cloth slightly puckered, a few
hinges starting. Still, a good set with an incredible association.
Hammond G. From the John McLaughlin/Book Sail Collection.
