Price: 1/-?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Notes: Paper covers (one of two formats) "Also issued in Cloth, price 2s." This is the source edition for Project Gutenberg Ebook #17508 (see). Uncertain size • WorldCat record OCLC 154710684 reports 18cm. So does OCLC 28435009, for the original of a microfilm copy. • OCLC 1947507 and HathiTrust reports 19cm, perhaps both catalogued by Harvard University. Thus ISFDB format in paper covers is uncertain, pb or tp? HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of one copy, evidently library bound as containing the original covers (images 7-8, 193-94, with inside covers blank): -- title page There is one interior illustration, p96, likely by Wells. (Perhaps the front cover, too.) There is no preface. For the original 1898 preface see parent nonfiction record.
