"This the best edition of my books is of right inscribed to my dear friend John Forster biographer of Oliver Goldsmith in affectionate acknowledgment of his counsel sympathy and faithful friendship during my whole literary life" dedication leaf in Volume I of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. "The Library Edition came about largely because of the suggestion of Forster that while Dickens's works were available in volumes in the Cheap Edition and in reprints of the serial parts there was no high-quality edition that would appeal to the wealthy. Dickens eventually came round to the idea that an elegant edition could raise the stature of his writings. He faced a complication in that the rights to the works were divided between Chapman and Hall and Bradbury and Evans. Consequently the volumes contained the imprints of both publishers. With a dedication to Forster the Library Edition appeared in 22 volumes in 1858-9 at 7s 6d per volume. Titles included Pickwick Nickleby Chuzzlewit Old Curiosity Shop Reprinted Pieces Barnaby Rudge Hard Times Sketches by Boz Oliver Twist Dombey Copperfield Pictures from Italy Bleak House Little Dorrit and Christmas Books. The only illustrations were the frontispieces. Between 1861 and 1874 this edition was reissued in 30 volumes with the addition of Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Our Mutual Friend The Uncommercial Traveller A Child's History of England Christmas Stories and Drood. The reissue contained illustrations-the frontispieces plus additional illustrations by artists such as Marcus Stone John Leech and Clarkson Stanfield-and came to be known as the Illustrated Library Edition.Recognizing the continuing potential for sales of Dickens's works Chapman and Hall in 1873 published a prospectus for the Second Illustrated Library Edition containing they contended all the works the novelist wished to preserve. Calling it the first well-printed issue with specially cast type and better paper than that used in previous editions this set was published in 30 volumes between 1873 and 1876 and sold at �15 for the set a high price for the time" Oxford Reader's Companion to Dickens pp. 205-206.

‎A CHRISTMAS CAROL‎

‎New York: Disney Press 2009. 137 pp. Trade paperback format. Light edge and corner wear with a flat uncreased spine; no interior markings. Illustrated with colour artwork from the movie. Just as a matter of interest A Christmas Carol has been filmed for theatres at least 19 times starting with a short British film in 1901 called Scrooge or Marley's Ghost to most recently - 2009 - with Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge - the most popular one still seems to be the one from 1951 with Alastair Sim as Scrooge. As for television that began in 1944 until most recently a direct to DVD in 2013 - The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol. Even radio was into it beginning on December 19 1923 when the BBC broadcast an adaptation. The most recent one was December 18 2015 starring Kathleen Turner in a live performance. And then there were a number of recordings mostly on vinyl. And even four operas. But when it comes to editions of the actual book well maybe someone can count that high. .
