This type of alteration has been observed on other titles. The depletion of stock while the new chosen bindings would be those ""Au globe doré"" surely led to these small modifications very rare and curious for the collector. Beautiful first plate with fine gilt on red ground. Corners very lightly rubbed quite rigid. Head slightly rubbed with a micro cut. A 0.5cm split at the lower joint at tail.

1868000431Boston: Fields & Osgood 1868. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good Plus. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Boston: Fields & Osgood 1868 hardbound Volume 6 July to December 1868 of the magazine. Taves & Michaluk V001. 10.25" x 6.75" 828 pp. Ex-Tacoma Public Library; half black calf with marbled paper boards. Quite scuffed particularly at the corners and hinges. Pages are age toned some are wrinkled one page is torn but complete not a page within the Verne issue. Strongly bound. Somewhat worn see scans but still quite strong better than Good just short of very good by reason of one or two too many scuffs. Fascinating and quite rare Jules Verne English-language first/first. Just a few pages buried within this hefty collection of six months of Every Saturday: A Journal of Choice Reading - a Fields & Osgood double-column weekly issue - treat Verne's first novel Five Weeks in a Balloon. At the time the magazine editors were apparently of the opinion that Verne who was then largely unknown to the American public was describing actual events rather than fictitious ones in his tale of African adventures undertaken via the vehicle of a hot-air balloon. Here in the five pages of this first appearance see scan of the first one only certain passages of the novel occur along with a synopsis by the apparently intrigued editor who concludes with the line: "All I can say is that it was shameful of our newspapers which profess to record everything that passes to treat this important event with such utter silence." Verne is even mis-identified by the flummoxed staff who refer to him as "M. Jules Berne." For this title this piece is exceeded in English-language rarity only by its own softbound variant - i.e. the same piece not bound together in six-monthly tomes such as this which was the habit of the era which few have presumably largely perished. Taves & Michaluk at V001 note that "The London" sourcing reference for the Verne article remains unknown. See all scans. L53n <br/> <br/> Fields & Osgood hardcover

Widely recognised as Verne's greatest work of fiction cited as the first ever venture into science-fiction this landmark novel has been turned into many exciting movies and translated into every language.</p><p>Extremely rare first edition of the classic novel in Hetzel's double-volume binding with blank space above the cherub on title page. A number of early print anomalies and errors are noted on the accompanying certificate which the buyer may use to demonstrate this book's authenticity as a First Edition Third Impression issued by Hetzel in 1872 before the Second Edition release in September of that year. The volume for sale here includes several noted first impression print anomalies though the legend under the illustration on page 121 confirms it as a later impression or printing of the First Edition.</p><p>Condition: Near Fine. The book is covered in a protective outer sheet but has light surface scoring to the covers see photos though curiously none of this appears on the spine leather at all as though the covers were worn on purpose perhaps in order to give a more antiquarian effect - some old French booksellers were let us say eccentric. The interior is overall Very Good with some foxing spots see photos though most pages are clean with the notable exception of the last sheet which has an old stain at the head of the page. One or two pages have closed edge tears of an inch or so nothing serious. No writing inside. Otherwise no pages are turned torn or missing.</p><p>Please note the books described as "First Edition" on Abebooks are nothing of the sort and should not be allowed to say so. The book for sale here is a genuine First Edition of the novel.

The latter printed the accompanying two novels included here after Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers.</p><p>You can see that several of these anomalies appear in the volume for sale here and therefore be certain that you are buying an extremely rare book. All of these errors were cleared up and amended by the publishers in time for the launch of their Second Edition issued in September 1872. The First Edition ran from November 1871 with the Second Impressions released in time for Christmas in December 1871 with two more releases of the First Editions in 1872 most of which were mixed impressions using older sheets in with the newer ones.</p><p>Also bound with two contemporary Jules Verne novels:</p><p>UNE VILLE FLOTTANTE</p><p>LES FORCEURS DE BLOCUS</p><p>These two novels were also very popular at the time so Hetzel decided to offer the buying public better value by offering them bound-up with their best-selling classic.</p><p>Postage of this book will be determined according to the buyer's location and the services available to there so the cost will be worked out after purchase and then added on.

19007437London: Sampson Low Marston & Company 1900. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION DELUXE ISSUE 8vo pp. viii 408 folding plan and 59 plates. Original green decorated cloth edges gilt green-printed endpapers. Three plates detached these consequently a little soiled and nicked to edges. Cloth a little rubbed to extremities. The scarce first English edition of this late Verne adventure novel. The will of the title refers not to mental fortitude but a last will and testament; in the book an eccentric American has left his sixty million dollar fortune to the winner of an elaborate game based on the Game of the Goose but played out across the continental United States. The folding plate depicts the game board with each space depicting a different state or area. Verne took his information on the geography from the recently published Baedeker guide to the USA. This is the deluxe variant with 59 plates gilt edges and printed endpapers it was also issued in the same year in a slightly plainer binding with 19 illustrations in which form it was reissued two years later as a ‘cheap edition’. By this point in Verne’s career interest in the Anglophone world was waning and the print run of this version was relatively small; the eight or nine novels he wrote subsequently mostly went unpublished in English until long after his death. It also has never been published in the USA despite the setting of the action. Library Hub records 5 copies at BL NLS Oxford Cambridge and Edinburgh but does not differentiate between variants.

1875129044New York: Scribner Armstrong & Co. 1875. First American edition of the second installment in Verne's Mysterious Island trilogy. Octavo original publisher's green cloth decorated in gilt illustrated. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. In near fine condition. A very sharp example. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction" French novelist Jules Verne had a wide influence on on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1873. Verne's The Mysterious Island is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways though its themes are vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson indicating the influence of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Johann David Wyss' Swiss Family Robinson on the thematic structure of the trilogy. In September of 1875 Sampson Low Marston Low and Searle published the first British edition of Mysterious Island in three volumes entitled Dropped from the Clouds The Abandoned and The Secret of the Island. The trilogy has been adapted numerous times for film television and radio broadcast. Scribner, Armstrong, & Co. hardcover
