Anyone interested in Texas history will find Jenkins's bibliography indispensable. After fourteen years of research into the more than 100,000 books published on Texas since Cabeza de Vaca's Relación of 1542, Jenkins, formerly an Austin rare book dealer, author, and bibliophile, selected 224 books that he considered essential for any Texas library. The entry on each book provides a substantial critical essay and full bibliographical details on every printing and issue. An additional 1,017 books are discussed and appraised, and an annotated guide to 217 Texas bibliographies is included. This revised edition, now available at a new low price, includes more than 100 changes and additions to the 1983 edition. "I cannot imagine a book collector, or any Texas scholar, without a copy . . . of Basic Texas Books." —Dorman H. Winfrey, former director, Texas State Library

History

Herbert George Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer and social critic. He wrote numerous books on various topics and in various genres, but he is best known today for his science fiction. Together with Jules Verne, he is regarded as one of the fathers of the field. The Time Machine was Wells’ first major suc- cess. It is the first successful work portraying time travel via a scientific device and introduced the term “time machine.” Suffused with Wells’ socialist perspective, it is both a sharp criticism of the English class system and an riviting adventure set in the declining years of the human race. This edition is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for English developed by the University of Deseret in the 1850s and 1860s.
