You Can't be Too Careful: A Sample of Life 1901-1951.

First edition of H.G. Wells’ late social novel, a wide-ranging examination of English life and social change in the first half of the twentieth century. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. From the collection of British science fiction author Christopher Priest with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. Priest’s most famous works include The Inverted World (1974), the interconnected “Dream Archipelago” series, and The Prestige (1995), which was adapted into the 2006 Academy Award nominee film of the same name by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, and Michael Caine. Very good in a good price-clipped dust jacket.
