Wells 1st Edition 2-Volume Set Blue Leather VG This landmark 1st edition two-volume set features The Outline of History: Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind by H.G. Wells, published in 1920 by George Newnes, Limited in London.

The blue leather covers show light age-appropriate surface wear, faint marks, and minor shelf wear along the edges and corners. The interior pages, color plates, and maps are complete, firm, and fully readable with mild age-toning and light scattered spot staining typical of 1920s paper stock.
