Minor soiling to the boards; edges have some toning. An overall clean and tight copy. Hammond B4; Wells Society 11: "A commentary on the misuse of science for selfish ends. The American edition differs from the first British edition in that the character Thomas Marvel is represented, in an added epilogue, as the proprietor of an inn called 'The Invisible Man'" (Wells Society 5-6).

Sinopsis
Invisible Man is a novel written by HG Wells, first published as a serial in Pearson's Weekly in 1897 before being published as a book by C. Arthur Pearson in 1897. The story follows the scientist Griffith, who through experimentation has become the Invisible Man of the title. Griffith's initial, almost comedic, adventures are soon overshadowed by the bizarre streak of terror he unleashes upon the inhabitants of a small village, and the novel is noted for its horror, suspense and psychological nuance.
