Product Description
From Library Journal
Two of Wells's sf masterpieces get the red carpet treatment here. These "critical text" editions contain the full text plus annotations, indexes, appendixes, and bibliographies. Though these editions are pricey, Wells's works deserve serious consideration. Libraries should at least stock up on a few extra budget paperback copies of Doctor Moreau to meet demand generated by a forthcoming film remake starring Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer.

The Time Machine,
By Carolina (Chula Vista, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Time Machine: An Invention: A Critical Text of the 1895 London First Edition, with an Introduction and Appendices (Library Binding)
This book is about a man who invented a time machine and he travel into the time to the future.He travel from the year 1895 to the year 802,701. He noticed that the people in that year is totally different from the time he was coming from. The people had the same types of clothes, the shoes and they were little people. He had a really bad time in there because he lost the time machine and other people who lived underground get it but he had to fight for it. When he finally got it, he travel; instead of back, he travel millions of years forward, but he then put the year he want it and he return to the year 1985 where he started from, and then he later travel again but since then 3 years had past and the time traveler hadn't got back....

Great novel, poor spelling,
By Purple Wizard (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Time Machine: An Invention: A Critical Text of the 1895 London First Edition, with an Introduction and Appendices (Library Binding)
The Time Machine is probably my all-time favorite science fiction novel, so I jumped at the chance to purchase the "critical text" when it became available. Unfortunately as I read the text I found spelling errors in it! For fifty bucks and a critical edition, you'd think the editor and publisher would take more care.The introduction, annotations, and appendices were worth the price, but simple spelling errors cannot be excused. For the novel: five stars. For the editing job, 1.

A glimpse of what is to come,
By Steve Holloway (Grafenwoehr, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Time Machine: An Invention: A Critical Text of the 1895 London First Edition, with an Introduction and Appendices (Library Binding)
The Time Machine is a story of a man who prophesized the future. H.G Wells did a great job of setting up the plot of the story and also added a few action scenes. When the main character had went far enough into the future, he discovered a society of mindless people. They did no thinking, just sat around. He found a library of books which hadn't been touched in perhaps a thousand years. Perhaps H.G Wells has given us an insight to our future, or maybe the book is just science fuction. You can read this novel and make that decision for yourself.
