London, Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, 1899. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A fine copy. The quintessential turn-of-the-century science fiction: a nice presentation, typical illustrations, a great conceit and unexpected consequences. "...plans are made to drag the Moon from its orbit to land in the Sahara Desert, where its resources can be plundered; but the executors of the plan are drawn to the Moon instead" [SFE]. A touch bumped and rubbed to the spine tips but very pleasing overall. Illustrations by Roux [11973, Hyraxia Books].
