"pebbled" buckram with gilt rules and lettering to spines. London. 1912. 
8vo. Both volumes show minor rubbing to extremities.The stitching of 
both volumes has been stressed a bit, as from being opened carelessly, 
but there are no loose pages, or signatures. Overall, very good condition.

This is the complete, first appearance in print, of the famous fantasy 
novel, wherein the character of Prof. George Challenger is first 
introduced. Published in monthly parts, as the leader in the Strand 
Magazine, by George Newnes, Ltd., London, commencing in April, 1912, and 
then in consecutive monthly parts until November, 1912. The

White [sic]. Some of these illustrations are unique to this issue. (The 
first book edition appeared the same year under the imprint of British 
publisher Hodder & Stoughton). A General Index precedes volume I. Both 
volumes have individual monthly Tables of Contents. The first volume 
contains pp. 363 to 720 of volume XLIII and pp. 1 to 120 of volume XLIV.
