I think most of us have watched this classic movie.
Rod Taylor as H. George Wells..Yvette Mimieux and Sebastian Cabot were main characters.

In the end, George returns to 1900 London and after telling his friends about the year 802, 710(?) he goes to his and leaves in his time machine to return to Weena (Mimieux). He takes 3 books....

Which 3 books would you take??

First and foremost to me would be The Holy Bible. Unless...I had a pocket one on my person...then what 3 books to take.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.....

That should read...he goes back to library/den/work room...takes 3 books and returns to the future(?) back to Weena (we assume).

Sorry about that

When he goes back to the future, he should make sure he picks up an encyclopedia or digest containing the scores of all major league pro games played to date, so he can make a killing placing sports bets when he gets back. Well, maybe not in 1900, lol.

Great movie, BTW. Did a nice job with the SFX available at the time.
