About This Item
New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1906 . Cloth. Very Good. 8.5" by 5.5". Not stated. The first US edition of this political commentary on the future of America by the English writer H. G. Wells. The first US edition of The Future in America, A Search After Realities by H. G. Wells in the original publisher's cloth binding. Illustrated with twelve monochrome plates. Collated, complete. The frontispiece is detached. An interesting take on American history and its fast progression into a economically and socially successful state in the early twentieth century as he assumes its future. Wells was a forward looking social critic and had a progressive vision of the future. He is best known for his science fiction novels. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, very smart. There is some minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Internally, generally firmly bound. The frontispiece is detached. The pages are bright and clean with the occasional spot and light age toning. Very Good
