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. 303 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. As a bonus, this copy comes with the rarely found additional Supplement - a 24pp pamphlet published in February 1935, which includes a Corrigenda and Addenda. ***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.
