Interiors are unmarked clear, and firmly bound with the expected toning for this vintage and some dog earred tips. Every issue has a story by H.G.Wells ( including a complete serialization of The Island of Dr. Moreau ) , six of the seven have stories by Jules Verne, and two have Edgar Allan Poe contributions. Even Gernsback s The Magnetic Storm is included. Other Contributors with multiple appearances include Clement Ferzandie, Jacque Morgan, G. McLeod Winsor, Garrett P. Serviss, Charles S. Wolfe, and A.
