WELLS, H. G. LOVE AND MR. LEWISHAM. London & New York: Harper, 1900.
Preceded by an edition published by Stokes earlier in the year with the
subtitle: "The Story of a Very Young Couple." This copy INSCRIBED on the
half title page to Joseph Gitterman on Monday Oct. 31 [1921] and SIGNED
"H. G. Wells" with a fancy flourish at the end. In addition Wells
writes, "This is among the books I care for most," signing with his
initials. Indeed Wells believed that this title and his later book KIPPS
were his two books most likely to survive. Time, of course, has proven
him wrong. Gitterman's small bookplate tipped to the front free
endpaper. Repaired tear to the spine head not touching the lettering. A
little cocked with rubbing along spine edges. Very Good. (#009734)
