Description: This listing is for an early facsimile of the 1st edition 1843 "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" by Charles Dickens, dated 1922. Rare, this is considered the most accurate facsimile of the 1843 1st edition, replicating the original cover, print fonts, and beautiful John Leech illustrations. Features an introduction by GK Chesterton detailing the history of this now famous book with facsimiles of Dicken's original manuscript. Like the original, it measures 4.5 x 6.75 inches. Hard cover construction is ribbed cloth over boards with gilt cover designs and edge pages. This 101 year old book is in very good condition overall. The cover is in nice condition, though there is a crease traveling across the rear cover up into the hinge. Pages are clean and binding is tight. Comes with the extremely rare dust jacket. The jacket is made of pulp paper and has considerable chips and a split at the hinge, but still presentable. Consignment. Thanks for looking!
