Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First Editions, First Printings in the ORIGINAL MONTHLY PARTS SIGNED by Charles Dickens on a laid in check. A superb set in the publisher's green pictorial wrappers with minor wear to the spines and edges. These ORIGINAL wrappers include 27 additional plates with the rare suppressed plat…es by R. W. Buss in part 3. A total of 70 plates present, with the 27 additions showing different versions of the original 43, some plates being variants not mentioned in Hatton and Cleaver. "These three artists (Seymour, Buss, "Phiz") etched, in all, 92 plates for the completed work; of which 43 are the "Originals" as they appeared in the first issue of the monthly parts, 4 are "Replacements," 2 are "Substitutes," and 24 are "Duplicates" of the originals: total 73. The remaining 19 are not dealt with in this bibliography" (Hatton and Cleaver pp 17). Fourteen of the front wrappers and twelve of the back wrappers are first issue (the wrappers, like the plates, can be found in a number of variants). The text has issue points in twelve of the nineteen books, in this set two of the parts show first issue text and ten show later issue text. The Pickwick advertiser is present and complete in eleven of the sixteen parts which call for it. The set also retains five of the seven "addresses" that were issued in the course of publication. Back ads present are Parts IX, one ad;, part X, one ad; Part XIII, two ads; Part XIV, one ad; Part XV, seven ads; Part XVII, three ads; Part XVIII, four ads; and Part XIX-XX, four ads. This shows twenty-three of the thirty-four ads called for in Hatton and Cleaver. Not complete as for the advertisements, but still with many more ads here than most copies in recent years. An overall excellent set documenting the progression and development of the illustrated plates and their variations housed in a custom clamshell slipcase for preservation SIGNED by the author.

Addressed to Mortimer H. Hess. Near fine. Paper clip imprint at left margin; single original horizontal light fold. On Limited Editions Club letterhead, Macy discusses the firm's fourth series. In part: "Here at the office, we are in a dither of excitement over it. For it is obvious that the continued success of this Club has been due to the plan which enabled us to furnish our members with worth-while fine books at low prices. And now, in this fourth series, that plan enables us to furnish our members with five fine books containing more than one thousand pages each, and two fine books printed completely by hand -- at the same prices!" He goes on in this breathless manner: "The titles seem to us even more desirable than ever; a fine Huck Finn, a Dante, a Pickwick, a Hamlet, a Don Quixote." He goes on in this same sales-pitchy vein before signing off in his trademark brown ink. NEWMAN 45.
