A Christmas Carol

Sumptuously illustrated edition of Dickens' classic holiday tale, brought to life for new generations of readers with the unique drawings of Mark Summer. Though these look like woodcuts or engravings, they are actually created using a "scratchboard"--a special drawing board covered in black ink, onto which he then creates his designs using an X-acto knife. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing, in this format from 2003, in 129 pages + a note about the illustrator & colophon in rear. Quarto (8.25" x 12") has forest green cloth-covered boards lettered in red gilt to spine. Condition is Near Fine, kept from looking brand new only by slight rubbing to extremities. Else, completely clean & bright, binding strong & straight, hinges secure, pages stark white & unmarked, illustrations crisp. The unclipped DJ is Fine, virtually flawless & protected in new clear mylar cover to stay that way! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day! SORRY: book is too large for expedited domestic or any international shipping without preapproval of extra postage (at least double per USPS rates).
