Original red cloth blocked and ruled gilt on upper and lower covers, lettered gilt on spine. All edges gilt. First issue with black coated endpapers. With illustrations in text by the author. The first and only edition of this facsimile of Lewis Carroll's original manuscript of the suppressed book that became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This copy inscribed by the author on half-title "Helen Bagnall from the author, Dec 3/92". Tipped onto front endpaper is a press cutting from 1928 relating to the sale of Carroll's original manuscript and loosely laid in are press cuttings reporting on the death of the author (1898) and the discovery of some unpublished letters (1937). Cloth a little marked with some uneven fading of lower board, spine darkened, inner front hinge cracked at gutter, half-title somewhat browned by offsetting from the laid in press-cuttings. In all other respects a very good sound copy with clean, unmarked text.
