#hgwells#barnesandnoble#leatherbound *NEVER READ, never even pages through, it's just sat on my bookshelf so its only imperfections are shelf wear to spine as pictured "The volume includes Wells’s best-loved and most critically acclaimed works. In each of the seven, the author grounds his fantastical imagination in scientific fact and conjecture while lacing his narrative with vibrant action, not merely to tell a “ripping yarn,” but to offer a biting critique on the world around him. The titles include: The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods, and In the Days of the Comet."
