[Rarebooks] FS: Nicely Illustrated Edition of A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Dickens

[Charles Agvent]

DICKENS, Charles. A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Boston: Limited Editions Club, 
1934. Quarto (7" x 10") bound in cloth-backed boards covered in paste 
paper hand-made by Rosamond Loring in a Christmas tree design with each 
copy different from the next. Designed and printed by D. B. Updike at 
the Merrymount Press and illustrated with color plates by Gordon Ross. 
Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the colophon 
page, this is one of only 15 Presentation Copies with the publisher's 
blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon page where the printed 
number "66" is struck through and the initials "G.M." are handwritten. 
Acquired directly from the publisher's files, and most likely the 
publisher George Macy's very own copy. Some edgewear to the boards and a 
small nick along the spine edge. Still Very Good or better, lacking the 
slipcase. (#016328)        $200.00
