Contents heavily toned, paper is brittle, some neat repairs to tears on p.97 and p.161, small amount of insect damage to inside joint, covers rubbed and worn, gilt dulled. This book was cheaply produced, is notoriously fragile and as a result, rather scarce. Copies simply haven't survived. Only two other firsts are currently listed online, neither of which is signed. Twelve chapters on rearmament and political theory. The print run is not stated in either Wells bibliography, although the paucity of survivors suggests a small number were produced in book-form, likely as the content had already appeared in Cassell's Magazine, The Daily Chronicle and The Daily News.
