David Copperfield

by DICKENS, Charles

$250 · Offered by Biblio

Franklin Station: Franklin Library, 1976. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition by this publisher. Illustrated by Phiz. The publisher's file copy, bound in full brown cloth stamped "RECORD AND REFERENCE COPY" on the front board and spine. All edges gilt. Slight rubbing to the foredge, a faint crease to the front endpapers (a binder's flaw), thus near fine. Presumably one of very few, or perhaps the only copy thus (as opposed to the thousands of leather bound copies of the publisher's "limited edition").
