Product Condition Description:Attractive copy with memorabilia. The book is near fine with mild sunning/wear issues on the spine. The slipcase has minor age wear on bottom of case, and some “ghosting” on a couple of seams from the gluing process and a small color distortion on the bottom of one side. What appears elsewhere to be discoloration is the result of the original bleeding of the ink. The photos should clarify satisfactorily as this is a very nice copy.The offer also includes both the elusive four page Limited Editions Club Monthly Letter and the pre-publication announcement.

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells appeared in 1897. For the next 50 years Wells averaged a book a year, continuing on with his fantastic tales, such as The War of the Worlds in 1897. In terms of the standpoint of popularity and royalties, however, The Outline of History was the Wells high-point. That title brought him far more fame and fortune than had ever resulted from any of his novels. To put it mildly, he was a talented writer and researcher. In The Invisible Man, we see Wells as a master at handling pseudo-scientific subject matter of this sort in depth, exposing human strengths and weaknesses. In the telling of it, he had a knack for creating a mood that bordered on both tragedy and farce. The Invisible Man is not a handbook on how to become invisible: it is what invisibility does to a man, and its effects on others, that makes the story enduring, in a fascinating and remarkable narrative. Our edition was designed by Sir Francis Meynell. He selected Monotype Bell in which to set the type in our book. Illustrating our edition, we are indebted to Charles Mozley for fashioning 12 full-color, full page lithographic drawings, and two end-paper spreads, all drawn directly on the plates. In addition, he opened all 29 chapters with a black and white line drawing, each filling almost an entire page. For the paper, Sir Frances employed two sources: one is the Curtis Paper Company for a cream-toned wove, rag paper for the letterpress pages; the other is Hale of London, who manufactured for us those sheets required for the color illustrations (Mr. Moxley oversaw the printing of the lithographs at the Stellar Press in London.) The typesetting and the letterpress were performed at the Press of A. Colish in Mount Vernon, New York. For the binding, Sir Francis designed a full maroon buckram over beveled boards, with the spine stamped in gold leaf. This is copy number 1072 of 1500, and is signed by Charles Mozley. Both the essential four page Limited Editions Club Monthly Letter and pre-publication announcement are included. For the collector/reader, one will be receiving one of the great classics of science fiction housed in an exceptionally well-crafted edition. The book should appeal to reading audiences of all ages, and would be an ideal gift for a deserving reader. Thank you for reading this presentation, and good luck in your searches.
