ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, and What Alice Found There; [In gorgeous matching Bayntun-Riviere bindings & specially made slipcase with ribbon pull]
- London: Macmillan and Co., 1866 and 1872
London: Macmillan and Co., 1866 and 1872. First UK edition to be regularly published of ALICE IN WONDERLAND (after the suppressed 1865 edition) and first edition of THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS with correct first-issue/printing point present on p.21, "wade" for "wabe" [Williams 10 & 21, respectively]. Each volume finely bound in gilt-stamped full red leather with Alice-themed tooling to front covers and spines; leather turn-ins; marbled endpapers; and all edges gilt. First volume shows faint name at head of title page, occasional finger smudge to margins, shadows of old tape repairs to half title and several other small tape repairs to margins throughout; the second volume shows a very faint name to head of half-title but is otherwise fine. Altogether a very good to near fine set that is beautifully presented in bindings that are quite fine. Housed together in red cloth-covered slipcase with ribbon pull.
