DICKENS, Charles. A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story Of Christmas. First American edition of Dickens’ most popular work. Replicating the first English edition, the American edition was printed by “C. Sherman, printer”, as noted on the verso of the title-page. Carey & Hart’s American publication was a piracy, published in blatant disregard to Dickens’ impassioned plea for international copyright protection during his tour of America in 1843. The present copy is in the rare gift binding, stamped on the front cover with the binder’s name, unlike in the ordinary bindings... $15,000.00 (more info)
