A Christmas Carol

Lovely 1939 edition (First, thus) of Charles Dickens' holiday classic, the first to feature the watercolor illustrations of American painter William Mark Young (1881-1946), who did the frontispiece, front pastedown, internal plates, endpapers, & DJ art (we are also listing a cheaper copy without the DJ; please see our listing #024314). In 74 pages, with decorative red paper over red cloth-covered boards, this hardcover folio is in VG condition: very clean, reinforced binding strong & straight, pages creamy white with moderate tanning, but completely unmarked. Significant rubbing to extremities, bumped corners. The unclipped DJ is Good+, with heavier rubbing, many light creases & small chips, heaviest at corners & both ends of spine. Beautifully protected for years of holiday re-reading in new clear mylar cover Free! 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).
