London: C. Arthur Pearson Limited, 1897. Octavo. Hardcover without a dust jacket. First edition, first issue, with the title page in orange and black and publishers ads on the unnumbered pages 247 and 248. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering and design. Soiling to the boards, fading to the spine. Binding is shaken and very weak, as is the front hinge. Book is in fair to good condition.

H.G. Wells's "The Invisible Man" tells the story of a scientist named Griffin who discovers the secret to becoming invisible. With themes of unchecked scientific ambition and the consequences of isolation, this novel remains one of Wells's most enduring and thought-provoking works.
