Description: Wrappers Illustrated First American appearance of this work in thirteen issues of Harper's Weekly, running from July 14 to Oct 6, 1906. As is usually the case with Harper's Weekly issues, most of these have been removed from bound volumes and have stab holes where the sewing has been removed. The 8/18 issue retains the outer mailing covers that are generally absent. The issue for 9/8 has a torn front cover, but includes the scarce U.S. Navy supplement. Otherwise, this is an outstanding example of the first American appearance of Wells's prophetic analysis of turn-of- the-century America. Scarce

As is usually the case with Harper's Weekly issues, these have been removed from bound volumes and all have stab holes where the sewing has been removed. This set is unusual in that most of the issues retain the outer mailing covers that are generally absent. Three issues (7/28, 8/4, and 8/18) do not have the mailing wrappers. The issue for 9/8 is missing the rear mailing wrapper, but includes the U.S. Navy supplement. The issue for 8/11 has the mailing wrappers separated at the spine. Otherwise, this is an outstanding example of the first American appearance of Wells's prophetic analysis of turn-of- the-century America. Scarce
