About this Item: Alice's adventures In Wonderland : London: Macmillan & Co., 1898 First Peoples Edition / Early printing stating 82nd thousand. Bound in the alternative green cloth covers with red and black decorations the book presents in good condition with some rubbing to the front board. Clean on the whole with a little handling wear only. Internally the book is again all original and it remains in very good order. Clean pages on the whole throughout with tight hinges etc. Tissue guard still in place to the frontis with 42 fabulous illustrations throughout by John Tenniel all of which present very well. A sweet owner inscription to the ffep dated Chritmas 1898. A lovely thing in its own right and a super collectable to have on the shelf. Any early Alice book is highly desirable and they are getting harder to find in original condition.
Good luck with this one and be sure to check out my other items as i have some other incredible books listed. I have other collectable titles listed from this author + others including SIGNED Harry Potter first editions with Rowling's Hologram, Winnie The Pooh originals, Fleming, Tolkien etc to name a few
