Condition
Some intermittent toning, occasional thumbsoiling in text, binder's ticket on ffep. Fine. THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, THE AMERICAN ISSUE. This appearance preceded the first book (English) edition by a year (the English appearance in Pearson's Magazine was issued simultaneously). The War of the Worlds appears monthly starting April, 1897 and concluding December, 1897 (this book collects issues beginning in November 1896 through December 1897.) This science fiction novel was one of the first first novels in which extraterrestrials are in armed conflict with humans, and is still the standard by which such stories are measured. Its popularity has hardly diminished over the years, and it has been in print continuously since 1897.
