The
Works
of
Jules Verne.
In Fifteen Volumes.
Jules Verne (1828-1905), "French writer whose writings shaped the development of modern science fiction In 1863 Verne published the first of his Voyages extraordinaires—Cinq semaines en ballon (1863; Five Weeks in a Balloon). The great success of the tale encouraged him to produce others in the same vein of romantic adventure, with increasingly deft depictions of fantastic but nonetheless carefully conceived imaginary scientific wonders. The Voyages continued with Le Voyage au centre de la Terre (1864; A Journey to the Center of the Earth), De la Terre à la Lune (1865; From the Earth to the Moon), Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers (1869-70; Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea), and L’Île mystérieuse (1874; The Mysterious Island), in which he foresaw a number of scientific devices and developments, including the submarine, the aqualung, television, and space travel. Verne’s novels were enormously popular throughout the world; one in particular, the grippingly realistic Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours (1873; Around the World in Eighty Days), generated great excitement during its serial publication in Le Temps and remained one of his most popular works" (Merriam-Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature).

Non-Paying Bidder Warnings as well as Fraud Complaints will be filed if the situation warrents these actions. Merchandise paid by check may be held for (10) business days until such funds clear.
SHIPPING: All of our books are very carefully wrapped and packaged, and are only shipped in well-padded boxes.We never use flimsy mailers. We do not charge for handling. We strive to ship within a day or two of payment received, however there are occasions when unforeseen situations may arise, thus delaying shipment for an extra day or two. This rarely happens. All merchandise shipped within the United States will be shipped via FedEx Ground, insured, unless otherwise stated. FedEx does not ship to p.o. boxes, and so any shipment to a p.o. box will be sent via USPS media mail. Overseas shipments will be sent either USPS Express Mail or Priority Mail International. International surface mail is no longer offered. Combined shipping is always available.
*IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE 9/2008: Since ebay has recently changed their shipping criteria, we have had to make adjustments as well. All of our domestic shipments will be automatically UPGRADED from UNINSURED PARCEL POST MAIL to FULLY INSURED FEDEX GROUND SHIPPING. So although the shipping calculator shows USPS Parcel Post, you will be receiving your package via FedEx Ground. However if a po box address is provided, the shipment will be sent Parcel Post since FedEx will only deliver to street addresses.
RETURNS: All items are described as accurately and in as much detail as possible to the best of our knowledge and ability. However, catalog descriptions are to some extent interpretive. Please be sure to read the ENTIRE description, and be sure to view the photos, as they are also considered part of the description. If any merchandise is found to be substantially at odds with the condition as described, or if upon collation the items are found defective in text or illustrations, or if an autograph, photo, graphic, binding, or content can be proven not genuine, than it may be returned for a full refund, providing said merchandise is shipped within (10) days of receipt.
