THE POSTHUMOUS PAPERS OF THE PICKWICK CLUB
1836. Containing a Faithful Record of the Perambulations Perils Travels Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members. Edited by "Boz." With Illustrations. 20-in-19 monthly serial parts. London: Chapman & Hall 1836-1837. Original light green pictorial wrappers. First Edition in the original 20-in-19 monthly serial parts issued from April 1836 through November 1837. This was Dickens's first novel and his first book to appear in monthly serial parts; the sketches that would become SKETCHES BY BOZ appeared first in periodicals then in two-plus-one volumes in 1836-1837 and finally once Chapman & Hall took over in serial parts in 1837-1839. PICKWICK in parts is extremely complex bibliographically mainly for two reasons both of which came to a head with the fourth part. Dickens at the time was essentially unknown even as "Boz" because all he had written were the above sketches not yet in book or serial form; in fact C&H decided to publish PICKWICK only because the great illustrator Robert Seymour was involved -- and merely engaged the unknown Dickens to write something to accompany the illustrations. Seymour provided four plates for the first part and had prepared three of four planned for the second part when he died suddenly by his own hand. C&H quickly engaged Robert Buss to take on the illustrating which he did with two plates for the third part; with the great Seymour no longer involved the publisher agreed to scale back the number of plates per part from four to two -- which also meant more writing and money for Dickens. But both Buss and C&H quickly acknowledged that Buss was not the right illustrator for PICKWICK and beginning with the fourth serial part the little-known Hablot K. Browne "Phiz" was engaged for the remainder of the book -- and for many Dickens novels thereafter. Meanwhile PICKWICK was not selling well. Only 1000 copies of the first part were produced and only about half of those sold so only 500 of the second part were produced. As C&H struggled to find an illustrator the third and fourth parts were not big sellers either perhaps dropping to only 300 copies or so. But in the fourth part the first to include "Phiz's" plates Dickens introduced the character of Sam Weller -- and the public loved him. The book's popularity soared with each subsequent part; people who had missed the early parts now wanted copies of them and people as late as 1838 wanted sets of the parts too. As a result the publisher was constantly having to print new copies of the parts especially of the first four for some of which "Phiz" designed new plates to replace the much-maligned two by Buss. Thus there are many issues of most of the parts and a "Prime Pickwick" a set with the first four parts in first state are legendarily scarce. All of that said this set is generally later-issue. Only Parts 9 10 14 15 16 17 18 and 19/20 are in first-state wrappers and only Parts 9 plus 12-through-19/20 have the preliminary "Pickwick Advertiser" ads later issues were generally published without time-sensitive ads. Part 3 has the replacement plates by "Phiz"; in general most of the plates in the second half are first-state while most in the first half are as usual second-state. Of the "Address" slips called for after the plates in seven parts this set has all but the first two -- as usual. Contact us for further details. As for general condition it is remarkably near-fine. There is very little edge-wear and only four parts 11 plus the last three appear to have deftly-repaired spines. The plates in Part 9 are slightly browned around the edges and have very minor foxing but otherwise the plates are unusually clean and sharp. A set of first-issue parts in this condition would easily bring $25000 and a "prime" set few are known to exist would be numerous multiples of that. In all the fact that just over half of the parts are later-issue reduces the price significantly for the collector who wants a good-looking PICKWICK in parts that costs less than a new car.

The Personal History. of DAVID COPPERFIELD
1849. the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne. 20 monthly serial parts in 19. London: Bradbury & Evans 1849-1850. Original pictorial light blue-green wrappers. First Edition in the original serial parts issued monthly beginning in May 1849 and ending with a double number in November 1850; the same sheets were then issued in book form using the preliminaries supplied in the last part on 14 November 1850. COPPERFIELD was Dickens's most autobiographical novel written in the first person; along with OLIVER TWIST and A CHRISTMAS CAROL it remains one of his best-loved today. This set has all the proper wrappers with the exception that the wrappers of Part II are from another Part I; also the rear wrapper of Part VIII is actually from another Part XV but the original Part VIII rear wrapper is loosely included -- torn in half and then stitched together with thread as was done 120 years ago. All 19 parts include the proper "Copperfield Advertiser" preliminary ads although four parts have one or more "Advertiser" pages missing. Of all the various terminal ads this set lacks only three: "Lett's Diaries" in VIII as is often the case "Eliza Cook" in XVIII and part of "Cundall & Addey" in XIX/XX. Four of the announcement slips following the plates are lacking. All of the 40 plates by "Phiz" are of course present though about half have some darkening around the edges. Condition is generally very good with minor wrapper edge-wear and soil; the wrappers' spines of some parts are restored at the ends with paper of similar color; in the case of the first two parts and the last double-part the entire spine is so restored. Most of the parts have the same early penciled signature at the top of the front wrapper -- a plus. COPPERFIELD was issued with fewer copies than most of Dickens's other serials of the period such as BLEAK HOUSE and LITTLE DORRIT; as Eckel wrote of COPPERFIELD almost 90 years ago "Comparatively the printing was small and the parts were much read and roughly handled so it is that fine clean and unrepaired copies are difficult to procure." This is not a fine set but it is accordingly not priced in five figures. Eckel pp 77-78; Hatton & Cleaver pp 253-272; Podeschi/Gimbel A121; Carr B220. Housed in a cloth clamshell case. unknown books

FIRST STATE of the plates having the publisher's imprint beneath the illustrations in parts I and II and FIRST STATE of plate 29 in part XV with the long title and the signature "PHIZ" in caps a dot preceeding the letter "P" and another dot between the last two letters. Part XI has the Charles Tilt ad as cited by Hatton & Cleaver: "In many copies seen there is to be found pasted within the front wrapper a small yellow slip 4 1/2" x 3" issued by Charles Tilt Fleet Street. On one side it is headed "New books for Children/Tales of Shipwrecks & Disasters at Sea" and on verso "Unique Present" - Substantially all the ads and slips are present with the following exceptions: part II lacks the Mechi slip and two leaves of the Advertiser; part III lacks the scarce Joseph Amesbury ad; part VIII lacks only the scarce Tyas "Heads of the People" ad. All other ads are present as called for by Hatton & Cleaver. Part XIX/XX has the scarce "Hill's Seal Wafers" ad without the seals. The plates are very good to fine; tissue guards are present.

London: Bradbury & Evans 1848. Cloth. VG- with the lightest of wear to the cover tips. Wear tpo extreme top of spine cloth. Light soiling and age-toning here and there. The ffep appears to have possibly been removed as advertising leaf is the first sheet when the book is opened but the joint where the front pastedown ends and the edge extends as the inner hinge and then onto the advertising sheet is mysteriously straight and glued with no cut marks or indentations onto the advertising sheet leading one to suppose there never was a ffep in this copy. 1' crack to the top area of the inner hinge. Red gilt-embossed cloth with ornate design on cover center and also along the spine. All edges gilt. 8 188 pp. Advertising leaf printed on both sides precedes engraved frontispiece and additional title on toned grounds by Martin & Corbould after John Tenniel wood-engraved illustrations by Martin & Corbould Thomas Williams Smith & Cheltnam and Dalziel by the following Artists: Tenniel 5 Leech 5 Stone 3 & Stanfield 3 Measures 6.75" high and 4.5" wide. The gilt on this copy is bright both on the cover and the spine. The ffep issue is vexing. Sold with all faults if any exist. A very nbice copy overall with nice shelf appeal. This is the fifth and last of Dickens's illustrated Christmas books. In this copy the first page numeral on p. 166 is damaged. This though priority is uncertain is the only identifiable issue point of this book. Smith II pp 66-70. Bradbury & Evans unknown books
