Mr. Gardner has also written a new Introduction and Afterword specially for this edition. The selection of 6 stories is not new, as it matches the 1997 Dover Thrift Edition, also introduced by Gardner (see). Page numbers differ. Gardner died at age 96 in May 1910. 2011 dates for the Introduction and Afterword should be checked by comparison of the editorial contents. Jim Miller is "Editor of This Volume" of Dover Thrift Editions. Possibly the text by Wells is corrected or Gardner left the editorial work unfinished.
