WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES. Signedby Wells, H[erbert] G[eorge]
DescriptionLondon: Harper & Brothers, 1899 First Edition. Important Family Presentation Copy, inscribed on the second free endpaper to his father: "For / Joseph Wells / From his / affectionate son / H.G. Wells". A fine copy showing light use, minimal spotting to contents - very nice indeed. Publisher's original red cloth, gilt lettered at the spine. 8vo., pp. [1-8] [1] 2-328 [329] [330-332: blank] [note final leaf is a blank], three inserted plates on glossy stock with illustrations by H. Lanos. One of Well's major "scientific romances", rarely found inscribed. The most significant example as there is no formal printed dedication, this presentation might very well be it.
