Description: H.G. Wells (G.P. Wells, ed.) -- 1st Edition 1st Printing -- NEAR FINE/FINE -- copy of H.G. Wells in Love: Postscript to an Experiment in Autobiography. 8vo. 253 pp. First American Edition. Quarter-bound in red cloth over gray boards with gilt lettering to the spine and a publisher's device blind-stamped to the front board. There is light foxing to the tops and fore-edges of the leaves and a black stamp to the title page that reads "Not For Resale Distributed by Green Thumb." The hinges are strong, the gutter papers intact and the text block is crisp and clean throughout. The pictorial dustwrapper shows negligible wear to the head and tail of the spine panel (normal shelf wear) and retains the publisher's price of $16.95 to the upper-right corner of the front flap. "This book is an extraordinary publishing event, not only for its subject matter -- the romantic and sexual affairs of a world-famous writer -- but for its self-revelation and astounding candor. In 1934, having just completed his formal autobiography, H.G. Wells embarked on another work, which would deal with 'not the main strand of my life, but the sexual, domestic and intimate life sustaining it.' Before his death he made arrangements which prevented release of the manuscript for many years. That manuscript, H.G. Wells in Love, is now being published for the first time." Published by: Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1984
