Data from publisher website As of 2020-02-24, the file header (viewed in HTML format) no longer shows year 1998. The first five fields (quote): Title: Off on a Comet Author: Jules Verne Editor: Charles F. Horne Release Date: August 15, 2008 [EBook #1353] Last Updated: October 13, 2016
The ebook (viewed in HTML format) opens with a title screen --that is, everything above a first horizontal line-- that comprises a title page transcript from vol. 9 in the F. Tyler Daniels ed. of Works of Jules Verne (see at ISFDB) augmented by three components: : "Off on a Comet or Hector Servadac" (two lines at top) : "By Jules Verne" (one line inserted) : "Copyright, 1911 By Vincent Parke And Company" (one line at bottom)
Evidently this text is a transcript of that from the F. Tyler Daniels omnibus (Works vol 9), but limited to the Introduction and the first of two novels, Off on a Comet or Hector Servadac. Gutenberg #1355 (see) evidently contains a transcript of the second novel, The Underground City or the Black Indies.
