The rare FIRST LONDON EDITION. Being the FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND trilogy.
Illustrated.Bound in the original period leather bindings, presumably the publisher's more expensive binding option. Ornate gilded spine. Marbled boards. 7 1/4 inches tall. Complete three volume set. Sampson Low, Marston, Low, & Searle, London. Printed in 1875.

CONDITION: In Good+ condition. Mainly with generalized usage wear consistent with that book grade. A lot of general usage wear, abrasion, looseness, loose signatures. There is some gouging or deep abrasions through the base of the front cover along the bottom edge not affecting the leather that stood out to me, but is still consistent with this book grade. Most importantly the leather is still supple and the hinges are all strongly and fully attached despite the age. The leather is still supple and the hinges are sound. Hinges fully attached and leather is supple and fresh. The front bottom cover of one volume has gouging into the edge of the board not touching the leather. General rubbing. Clean interior. Light foxing. No writing. Armorial bookplates. Text block held firm but a little loose from use, some of the page gatherings are a little overextended, some signs of usage. No writing noted. A nice set and currently the only complete one available. This is an exceedingly rare First Edition by Jules Verne.
Includes detailed illustrated full page plates. Translated from French to English by W.H.G. Kingston. This is the First London and First English Edition.Includes detailed contents. Mysterious Island is The sequel to Twenty Thousand (20,000) Leagues Under the Sea.



Seller Notes: This is the exceedingly rare First Edition/First Printing of the Mysterious Island, bound in the original antiquarian leather bindings. Printed in 1875 by Sampson Low, Marston, Low & Searle, London. This set is exceedingly difficult to obtain. Purchased at an antiquarian book show circa 2005, now listed for the first time. In generally Good Condition only, and consistent with that book grade, mainly with generalized usage wear, abrasion and some looseness from use. Consistent with this book grade. Bound in the original contemporary leather bindings. More pictures and details will be added later.
