THE WORLD SET FREE - 1914 1st, inscribed by H. G. Wells (atom bomb prediction)

Description: The World Set Free A Story of Mankind H. G. Wells London: 1914 First English edition. Hardback in original in green embossed covers. There is light foxing to endpapers and some interior pages.  Additionally, there is some light wear to the volume itself. This particular copy was inscribed by H. G. Wells on the front free endpaper to one Frank Israel in the year of the book’s publication Although the inscription is in the hand of H. G. Wells, it oddly lacks his signature. I checked this with several other H. G. Wells original book inscriptions we have and it matches the author's unique handwriting. This is an important science fiction book and much more so with writing in the hand of Wells. John Anthony Miller Phantom Bookshop Ventura
