First Edition Thus. Todd & Bowden's #119-121 Bc/d issues (3 vols.). One of the most interesting Tauchnitz editions in that the first printing both precedes the UK first of 1848 and exhibits significant textual differences.
The book went through numerous reprintings, with a resetting of the text after 1868, but all title pages continued to show 1847 as the publication date, as was usual for Tauchnitz printings. This set dates from 1918-19, with ads for various dates in that period on the rear wraps of the 3 volumes. Paper and covers unfoxed, unsunned and quite clean with slight, general shelf wear.
A desirable set, and an important edition of this Dickens classic.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
