London, John Milne, 1910. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good book, in a good jacket. A future war novel, with the UK destroying Germany using thought reading, but also getting rid of all the Jews who align with the Germans, so a mixed bag as far as prescience goes. The jacket's uncommon, and this appears to have two. Not enough data out there to determine if the outer glassine jacket is original or later. It's certainly early, and I find it unlikely that a later owner would use it to protect the jacket. The printed jacket is in two pieces with a good deal of loss primarily to the spine. Still, it is what it is. The book itself is neat enough with some softening to the spine tips and a little offsetting from the flaps. Owner's inscription. James Blyth (1864-1933) is best known in the genre for his future war novels, though he is largely unread nowadays. [11463, Hyraxia Books].
