About This Item
London : Cassell & Co., (1923). First edition. Journalist from Sydenham and other earthlings find themselves in Utopia, an evolved civilisation in a world without government or religion, "as clean as starlight and as sweet as cold water on a dusty day" - "Let it be said at once, in this book Mr. Wells is at his best. Indeed, if one had to name the novel that represents his many-sided genius most completely, one could hardly fail to name 'Men Like Gods'" (Sylvia Lynd in the Daily News, 8th March 1923). Crown 8vo (20cm). viii,304pp. Original green cloth, blocked and lettered in gilt and blind (Currey's 'B' variant); a sliver of fading at head and tail; some tanning of endpapers; a few edge spots, but a very good and sound copy in the grey dust-jacket, lettered in purple - the jacket just slightly darkened and faded at spine, but fresh and unworn.
