A delightful box set
These are very nice books! The artwork on the box is quite nice and the box is thick and dense, so it’s actually worth keeping it for display. The book covers have nice designs and I like the feel of the cloth covers. The paper is of good quality – bright white, smooth, and just thick enough to prevent text from the other side of the page from showing through. Most of all I like the size of the books: just a bit larger than a pocket size book, these are the perfect size to tuck in a lunch box or carry with you throughout the day.

Delicious little box set
I had never read H.G. Wells before buying this, and I started with The Invisible Man. I must say, I love his directness, and he has an almost meanness in the way he writes. It is very unique and almost modern, considering he wrote in the same time as say Bram Stoker. The Island of Doctor Moreau was absolutely chilling, yet something essential to my vocabulary now. I have not read them all yet, but I will say I love the size of the books (a bit larger than my hand) and the fabric covers give them a sturdy quality. The silver text on the front started to wear a bit, but I don’t mind, it just shows that the book went with me everywhere (small size + excellent story). I would buy this for anyone wishing to build a library, or someone who is a fan of nineteenth century/Victorian literature.

Beautiful book set; cute books (size) but great set!
The Father of Science Fiction and his novels all in one great package! The books are small (they can fit on my hand; which isn’t big) but I guess that just makes ’em more portable eh? I ordered the hardcovers so that’s something to note. They have a nice fabric-y feel and a cool silver design. However, the decorative silver designs do tend to peel off fairly easily so just be mindful where or how you handle your books (for those who don’t treat their belongings with enough respect already, then this shouldn’t be an issue). The cool little box that they are stored in, to me, feels sturdy enough and has a fabric-y top and bottom. Treat the box (and books) well, and they will most definitely last you. I would recommend this box set to someone who loves all things sci-fi and wants to get back into books or is already into reading books. This would be a great starter.

The font is really small
Cool collectors edition and they look pretty on the shelf but beware if you want to actually read them as the font is really small!

Looks nicer in person
I like the hardcover set I wasn’t sure about the design but I like it in person. I like being able to pick up each story instead of a collective of each of his stories.

H.G. Wells six book classic collection.
Nice hardback covers with an attractive box to keep them in. They look like they would have easily cost twice as much as what they cost me.

Das Buch ist super, wie erwartet. Leider kam es beschädigt an, was sehr ärgerlich war, da es ein Geschenk werden sollte. Amazon wäre bereit gewesen das Buch zurück zu nehmen, habe mich aber dagegen entschieden und das Buch selbst behalten, da das ganze hin und her Geschicke nicht so toll für die Umwelt ist.
Cliente Amazon –
Es un clásico, poca reseña puedo poner. Personalmente me gusta mucho y están las historias más relevantes de Wells. Lo disfrutaréis.

A wonderful collection from the master. While the typesetting isn’t exactly perfect, it’s also no different than the font one would observe while reading their Kindle on their phone. So, the minor inconvenience (if that) aside, it’s an excellent collector’s edition box-set.
