As I have far too many books, I am currently selling a range of books for more space.

The Clipper Of The Clouds, Jules Verne, Samspon Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, 1887, 234pp

Here is a first UK edition of one of Jules Verne's most advanced works - later named 'Robur The Conquerer' and based around the American Civil War..
This gloriously illustrated book features highly decorative Victorian covers and bright gilding to all edges and is a very rare item.
With bright gilt boards, this is one of the most visually impressive of Verne's first editions and the story focuses on flight in a way that only Verne could bring to life to the Victorian readership.

Only one copy is listed on Abebooks.co.uk - priced at £3,081 including P&P so my copy is really priced to sell.
A true rarity.

In Good condition
Light cover wear
Generally very good inside with period inscription.
Sadly has a good deal of loose illustrations (all present)

I'm happy to post worldwide but please contact me first to find out postage prices.
