The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens and Their Values: A Bibliography (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens and Their Values: A Bibliography
Nearly every collector of fine and rare books includes Dickens among his list of esteemed authors. As it has been written before, Dickens is essentially a collector's author, for the reason that his books in their original state make an irresistible appeal. To tell of the appearance of these is the purpose of this Bibliography. Due notice has been taken of the various issues of first editions, and the different points involved have been carefully assembled and explained. For the first time illustrations have been used in a Dickens bibliography to make clear such points as require them.
Another feature relates to presentation copies, treated separately for the first time in any Biblio graphy. It was impossible to make this subject a complete one, though enough has been given to furnish a general idea of a number of association books and their extraordinary rise in prices.
