Description

First American edition, first issue of Wells' The Time Machine.

  • H.G. Wells (English).
  • The Time Machine, An Invention. 
  • New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1895.
  • With the author's name incorrectly spelled on the title-page as "H.S. WELLS."
  • Bound in original publisher's tan cloth, top edge gilt, others uncut.
  • Housed in a maroon clamshell slipcase.


The US edition was published before the UK edition, and the text (presumably an earlier version of the story) differs significantly from the UK edition.
