Rare War of the Worlds. by H G Wells, Dell retailer Pub Orson Welles radio broadcast science fiction horror story

How cool is this!?!

It is a First Edition, First Printing of H. G. Wells' WAR OF THE WORLDS, by Dell Publishing for Harper and Brothers. This paperback magazine type, illustrated digest is the abridged story of the radio broadcast that retailer terrified America! It is a science fiction horror story about the invasion of the Earth by Martians. This was published by Dell Publishing shortly after it was broadcast on the radio in 1938. It originally sold for 10c.

Made out of paper and 84 years old, the pages have tanned and the covers are tattered a bit. I have not tried to clean it up. Also, it has some minor tears, you can see them in the photos. It is really in pretty good condition for its age! Ephemera never meant to be kept all these years, but luckily was saved! Complete and tightly bound by staples.

Look at my photos. They are part of my description. It is not perfect, but in very good vintage condition. Very readable. Would look great with outer space toys, collectibles, or even framed highlighting the artwork on the cover!

Check out my other listings. I have other vintage books, magazines, antique prints, old toys and games, and many other items.
