From the Earth to the Moon (Illustrated 1874 Edition): 100th Anniversary Collection

I love this printed edition that has wonderful binding and cover art; a reprint of the original done in 1875?. The text and font are really easy to read on the paper background. And I love that all of the original iilustrations that were done for the original edition, I think 1876 edition print, are reprinted here.I originally read this story back years ago, when we were still launching men to the moon and I found the telling of this story really interesting. The book I had read was from The Great Illustrated Classics edition and had, what now appears, only some of the original content of illustrations. I would recommend this edition to anybody who wants to read Jules Verne or reread this since fiction classic. Jule Verne imagining how we could go to the Monnin 1865 or later is really clever.

This is a very nice paperback edition of the original printed version, complete with the classic 19th century illustrations from the original edition--and more impressively, also includes the harder-to-find sequel, "Round the Moon," which picks up where "From the Earth to the Moon" left off. I wish I had known that before I ordered the sequel book along with this (not necessary). My only minor criticism would be that it should be made clearer that this book includes BOTH novels. That would have saved me a little money.

Somehow over the years I didn't get around to read many by Jules Verne. I am a fan of Science Fiction and read many modern books. Now I plan to read Mr. Verne. These books by this Press are excellent with so many illustrations in each book.

Pretty cool book. Hard to read sometimes because it's 150 years old, but I like the pictures.

I bought this book for my son, he is a man of few words. He reports: "It's in good shape. I find it engaging." Translation: He really likes the book.

Like other releases in this series the cover art is blurry, and I kinda wish the gold parts were reflective; a shiny gold would have looked gorgeous. The text and images are great though, and the sequel 'Around the Moon' is included.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter in NY. She’s reading it now. She said it’s very interesting and well written and very well made of quality paper.

Amazing book, Jules Verne is an amazing pioneer and ahead of his time with this book.
