A propos de cet article

First impression of the true first edition, published in 1931, with 'this edition is limited to seven hundred and fifty-four copies, four of which are on mould-made paper No. 88' printed on the reverse of the half-title page. Profusely illustrated throughout with 16 black and white plates, including a tissue-guarded portrait frontispiece of The Rev. C. L. Dodgson, from Herkomer's (posthumous) portrait in Christ Church Hall, Oxford, made in 1899. ***Near fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked, the spine just slightly faded. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine, with no inscriptions. No foxing. Pages clean. It appears that none of the pages remain uncut (some copies of this book have uncut pages). No creases or tears. ***In a very good plain printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 42s. net. The dustwrapper is largely complete, with just small areas of loss at the top of the spine and top corner tips. The spine is also darkened with age. However, there are no serious chips, creases or tears. Dustwrapper clean. ***336 pages including two indexes to the rear - Index I (General) and Index II - First words and (in italics) titles of Minor Literary Carrolliana (chiefly verse). 227mm x 150mm. ***Contents: Preface, Introductory Notes, Method of description, Addenda and Corrigenda, PART I. A list, with notes, of all pieces and editions printed or issued by Dodgson, during his lifetime (1845-98), in order of date; PART II. A similar list, with notes, of all pieces and editions issued after his death (1898-1931) or at any date in America, in order of date, in two sections: A. Alice and Through the Looking-Glass, B. Editions of other pieces; PART III. Selected short pieces by him, printed for the first time or reprinted; and notes on unpublished matter; SUPPLEMENTS. A. An essay on the early issues of (I) Alice and (II) Through the Looking-Glass, B. Memoirs, Reminiscences, Memorials, Bibliographies, C. Portraits, D. Dramatizations and Musical Settings, E. Abridgements, Adaptations, Re-tellings, &c., F. Parodies, Imitations, and Miscellanea, G. Notes on the chief collections of Carrolliana, Indexes. ***'The present volume represents the evolution and development of my former book, 'A Bibliography of the Works of Lewis Carroll', and what was originally begun as a second edition of that book has so grown and extended its scope of research, that it has been decided to issue it under another title, a title more comprehensive than that of a bibliography.' (Quote taken from the Preface by Sidney Herbert Williams, December 1931) ***First impression of the true first edition - No. 88 in a limited edition of 754 copies, in beautiful collectable condition - this copy retaining the original plain printed dustwrapper (most of these were discarded, and they are rarely seen now). An uncommon book, and scarce in the dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
