About This Item
New York: Maurice Inman, Inc., 1932. Limited edition, number 415/750 copies. 272 pages. Full maroon cloth in original reddish dust-jacket. Housed in original cardboard slipcase, which shows mild wear. Second edition. Revised and enlarged, with illustrations and facsimiles. Still an important reference for the collector of Dickens first editions, the present edition is the most sought after and remains a collectible bibliography in its own right. Slight nick at fore-edge to tissue guard between frontispiece and title and dust-jacket spine marginally sunned, not affecting lettering. A fine copy in fine dust-jacket, in very good slipcase.. Second Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
