A lovely set perfect for reading or handling without fear of damage. § First editions of all five of Dickens’s Christmas books. With engravings by D. Maclise R. Doyle C. Stanfield J. Leech J. Tenniel and F. Stone Thompson G. Dalziel E. Dalziel T. Williams Swain and Groves. A Christmas Carol is the high point and the crucial component in any set of Dickens’s Christmas Books. Dickens kept its production on a short leash and anecdotes abound about his pleasure or displeasure with the differently colored endpapers the color of the cloth for the binding the typography and so forth. Oddly enough despite Dickens’ personal attention to this edition it is not a particularly well-made title. Coupled with the legions of fans who often read their copies “to death†it comes as no surprise that original and well-preserved copies of this book in its correct state seldom appear on the market. The Chimes written in Genoa Italy was commercially more successful than A Christmas Carol and Dickens worked hard to make this second Christmas book a worthy successor. The Cricket. grew from the idea to begin a weekly periodical which would have been called “The Cricket†though was abandoned quickly for a more important venture and the founding of The Daily News. The Cricket was wildly successful doubling in circulation of both its predecessors. Dickens wrote The Battle of Life during a period of recuperation needed after illness attributed to overworking; despite being seriously indisposed he managed to complete the work while working on Dombey and Son though it was not as successful as his other Christmas books thus far. The Haunted Man. was the last of the Christmas books and despite requiring a final rally from the author to avoid disappointing the public the book is considered the least interesting and lowest grossing of the Christmas books; the issue of 20000 had not completely sold when the author died. All books are in their most desirable states as follows:A Christmas Carol.: i-viii 1-166 2 ads pp. First edition first issue. Green endpapers; “Stave I†on pp. 1; uncorrected text throughout; red-and-blue printed title page with four color etchings and four woodcuts full-page color etchings.

The name of the publishers is a part of the the vignette title page as per the first issue. 11 woodcuts in text and steel engraved frontis and titlepage.The Cricket on the Hearth.: i-viii 1-174 lacks 2pp. ads pp. First edition first issue. With steel engraved frontis and titlepage and 12 woodcuts in text. The Battle of Life.: i-viii 1-3 4-175 3 imprint and ads. First edition second of four states of the engraved title. Terminal ads announce the publication in parts of Dombey and Son and the bound volume of Oliver Twist. In addition to the engraved frontis and titlepage there are 11 woodcuts in the text.

‎Household words. A weekly journal‎

‎New York: G. P. Putnam and others see below 1850. First American edition 19 volumes 8vo text in double column within ruled borders; a fine set in contemporary half blue polished calf over marbled boards red morocco labels on gilt-decorated spines. Household Words was considerably more popular in England than America and its publishing history in America is "almost absolutely dark as is the whole subject of periodical printing and 'arrangements' . The 1850's were years of copyright agitation in America and certainly no legally protective arrangements were possible to the English publishers before the journal was discontinued in 1859. And it is not surprising that the course of Household Words was not so brilliant in America as was that of its successor All the Year Round.It was partially a local work and not quite so interesting to an America as to an English reader; it had changed publishers too often; there was no legitimate arrangement between the English proprietors and the American publishers; it was sold at too high a price; it had been published by inexperienced people and therefore had not received proper publicity and promotion; and its lack of pictorial illustration made it unpopular with the masses" Buckler William E. "'Household Words' in America" in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America vol. 45 pp. 160-66. While the first volume was published by Putnam volumes 2 and 3 were printed from English plates and have a London imprint; those publishing the remaining volumes included in order McElrath & Lord; Angell Engel & Hewitt McElrath & Barker; T. C. McElrath & Co.; J. A. Dix; Dix & Edwards; Dix Edwards & Co.; Miller & Curtis; James Miller; Jansen & Co.; and Frederick A. Brady. Complete sets of this American piracy in a matching contemporary binding are uncommon. <br/><br/> G. P. Putnam [and others, see below] hardcover books‎
