About this Item

Two books bound in one volume. 'Christmas Books' is an early printing of the collected edition; 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' is a first edition. Contemporary half navy morocco with marbled boards, five raised bands and gilt titles and decorations to the spine. All edges gilt. Both titles are illustrated throughout in black and white. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities a little worn, the corners very slightly bumped. Internally both titles have occasional light spotting, foxing, and offsetting, the contents are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. A handsome volume. 'Christmas Books' contains 'A Christmas Carol', 'The Chimes' 'The Cricket on the Hearth' 'The Battle of Life' and 'The Haunted Man'. The first edition of The Mystery of Edwin Drood was published posthumously. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
