The Complete Science Fiction Treasury of H. G. Wells
This omnibus title has at least two nearly identical editions. The first edition with an "a b c d e f g h" line on the copyright page has a title page followed by a blank page between each story. By the 4th printing with a "d e f g h" line on the copyright page the publisher had introduced a second edition where the title and blank pages were replaced with full-page illustrations from earlier publications of some of the stories in this omnibus. Something else that may distinguish the editions is near the top of the second edition is a line that reads “Copyright &copy; 1979 by Crown Publishers, Inc.” At present it’s not known if the 2nd and 3rd printing follow the first or second edition format and so until these are located it's not known if the 1979 copyright notice was added at the same time the second edition format was introduced. Publication:THCMWLLS1E1978 shows the copyright page for the 11th printing which is a second edition publication.

Here is a list of the illustration captions as stated in the second edition. All of these seem to be from the original magazine publications for the stories:
