Sci-Fi & Fantasy
London, Sampson Low, Marston, [1937].
First edition. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket.
The only work of sci-fi from an author normally associated with more sedentary works on transport; this Lost Race tale set in the Yukon Territory, 'within a caldera heated by volcanic action, a technologically advanced but priest-ridden civilization of "white Indians", originally from ancient Egypt, uses its helicopter-like airships and strange Weapons to attempt to protect its gold from the outer world.' (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).

8vo. Original pictorial wrappers.
A rare, very good example of this sixpence "pulp" edition of Verne's SciFi classic.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
London, John Lane The Bodley Head, 1919.
First edition. 8vo. Advertisements. Original blue cloth ruled in black. Dust-jacket, correctly priced 7s.
A very good early dust-jacket, uncommon thus. This collection of tale comes from the pen of Scottish author Gerald Grogan, author of the sci-fi novel A Drop in Infinity (1915); the author was killed in the First World War, in 1918.
