These holographic facsimiles are printed on page versos, while transcribed facsimiles of the text are printed on the rectos of the facing page. A monumental work, of interest to the Dickens scholar, as well as the dedicated reader, for discovering the hidden gems of inspiration that went into developing both plots and characters. No previous ownership marks. A very clean, square, unmarked copy, from a private collection. New in publisher’s shrink wrap. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.
