VERY RARE and Genuine Antique - Charles Dickens - The Old Curiosity Shop - 1895
By Chapman & Hall 1895
Hardcover – no Dust Jacket
This very rare and antique Charles Dickens book is from my grandfather’s estate. It is dated 1895 and is possibly a first edition, because it has no subsequent printing information and no ISBN/date page. It is simply says LONDON: CHAPMAN and HALL, LD. 1895.
The dark blue Hardcover, features a ‘CD’ emblem pressed on the cover and ‘C&H’ emblem/logo pressed on the rear. The book includes a preface by Dickens and boasts seventy five b/w illustrations ( by S. Williams, Vasey, C. Gray Sr, et al.)
It is entirely complete. No pages missing. The pages and text are very clean. It shows minor shelf wear to the headcap and tail. Corners are very good. Top Edge and Fore Edge have yellowing and some shelf antique soiling. (see pics)
The cover has come away cleanly from the book leaving the bookblock (all pages) still well bound by the original glue and inner cover layer. The cover can be easily glued back (by a professional) Otherwise, this rare historic 100 year-old book is in great condition. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of literary history.
I have owned this book for more than 40 years. It has been stored in Smoke Free/Pet Free home, away from sunlight. I believe it may be worth a lot more than my asking price - but I must sell due to a pressing family matter.
