Journey to the Center of the Earth (Illustrated First Edition): 100th Anniversary Collection with Foreword

The book is well worth it.
Adventure that could be real if such a large cave system could be found. Fiction of course but so well done that you get lost in it.

SeaWolf Press 100th Anniversary version is the best available.
SeaWolf has done an admirable job with these releases, going back to original artwork, or the beautiful art from around the period, and also producing amazingly authentic text, fonts, and drawings from the original English editions translated from the French.For some of these, the translations were a bit creative in the early days of the originals. This is a better and more authentic version than the original English release by Griffith & Farran, but Malleson does concoct chapter titles and a few details, so one may also want to take a look at a newer translation done with Penguin that is a bit more accurate. Both versions are quite nice, and I actually like the look and feel of the SeaWolf Press edition more, but the other translation is better. Your choice.

Great reprint of a highly collectable piece.
These were originally done in the fifties. The writers actually put thought into making classic books accurately retold in comic book form and they succeeded without destroying the story. I own several original printings (very collectable), but love to have these new copies so my children can read them too.I'm thrilled to have found these!Wonderful print quality,will definitely buy more in the series.

Almost perfect
4 stars why? Bought paperback 100 anniversary edition. Good binding with illustrations, but honestly the print is lighter than normal almost grey not black. Others in house said so as well. Otherwise great copy for great story.

Book was printed wrong
The copy I received started on page 114, went BACKWARDS, and then the beginning of the book was in the middle and proceeded to go the correct direction. Not quite what I was looking for to place in my library...

Every other page was falling out!
I’m so disappointed with the book I received, literally every other page fell out. Don’t waste your money.

The cover was photocopied and the book had no publisher ...
The cover was photocopied and the book had no publisher information. The last page said it was printed the same month I bought it.

Good book! Poor image placement
Really good book and translation that captivates the sophisticated writing of that era. Only problem was the poor placement of the illustrations which often were shown before the accompanying text spoiling what was about to happen in the chapter

THIS IS NOT THE BOOK (KINDLE)!
NOT THE BOOK!!!!The product did not fit the description. Instead of the 258 pages book, I received pages 1-56 in a 4 pages per frame format and with 2 of them on the opposite orientation each time! I tried to check if I could ask for the book to be replaced since it was directly purchased from amazon, but since I couldn't, I am just hoping this does not happen to anyone else.Note to self: ALWAYS CHECK THE SAMPLE BEFORE PURCHASING!!!
