The Island of Doctor Moreau

H. G. Wells · William Heinemann (London) · 1896

The Stone & Kimball American edition is bound in black cloth with gilt lettering and ruling, quite unlike the tan pictorial Heinemann cloth, and is not the true first. Heinemann's own later impressions, including a documented 1905 printing, appear in green cloth ruled on the covers with gilt spine lettering rather than the tan pictorial first-issue cloth.
