The Lost World (100th Anniversary Edition): With 50 Original Illustrations

As a dyed-in-the-wool, unapologetic Conan Doyle fanboy, this was a must-have version of my second favourite story of all time, (the first being "The Sign of Four!). I had not seen an illustrated edition before, and the pictures are as wonderful as you might imagine them to be.

Comes as a large format softback book, very good for fans of Arthur Conan Doyle or Lost World fans.

Great book, bizarrely massive format, but with very low resolution reproduction of the pictures, which was the whole point of this edition. Even the text resolution is a bit low.

If Chrichton read this, I can see the inspiration. A fun read, I recommend it. The illustrations were good, and help to visualize the world and story.

Very ugly edition

Love these anniversary editions of these classic books, great original illustrations, good fonts not to small. Very affordable. Lost World was spectacular, also bought some Jules Verne. A+++

I first read this book as a teenager. Have had several copies since and have re-read it many times. It's a first rate adventure story that has actual history which inspired Arthur Conan Doyle...explorations in that same area of the Amazon Jungle by Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett. See David Grann's fascinating book The Lost City of Z.It's also a really neat edition that is a re-print of the original with the original artwork pictures. And its cover matches the Criterion Collection DVD of the 1925 movie! I found that DVD on Amazon and love it! The book is better than any of the films, but having these two together is very special.

I enjoyed this book overall. Some of the language is dated and disagreeable, but a fun adventure to read! My primary complaint about this specific edition is that some of the pictures are incorrectly placed several paragraphs and/or pages ahead of where the events occur in the text. This caused a few events to be spoiled since I was seeing the events prior to reading about them.
