This slim volume of 91 pages is the definitive study of Dickens's novel "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club" in its serial form.

A very scarce piece of Pickwickiana and itself a valuable reference source. Podeschi H161. A fine copy in a good wrapper, and extremely scarce, though worn box.. Limted/numbered/signed. Cloth.
