Macmillan, 1889. FIRST EDITION, wood-engraved frontispiece (tissue-guard present) and further illustrations, some full-page, light spotting to prelims, recurrent to final page of Index, pp. xxiii, 400, [3, ads], crown 8vo, original red cloth, backstrip gilt lettered, this gently faded with trivial wear at tips, beneath the title-lettering is the (upside-down) faintly visible ownership inscription of 'F. Munro[?]', slight lean to spine, boards with gilt triple fillet border and central pictorial roundel, corners of upper board slightly knocked, some light handling to cloth, a.e.g., black endpapers, very good. Inscribed by the publisher on the half-title: 'Fanny Hughes, from the Publisher. Jan 7, 1890'. We have not confidently been able to trace the recipient - the wife of another Macmillan author, Thomas Hughes, bore this name. Though Carroll's late novel is not ranked highly within his oeuvre, its Index alone is a work of genius. (Williams, Madan, Green 217 & 250) [Attributes: First Edition]

Oxford: Emberlin and Son, 1890 (but 1907). The Letter-Writing pamphlet is 4 by 3". 39pp. Publisher's ads appear on pages 36-39, and the last page is blank. Even though the reverse of the title page states "First Published 1890", this is clearly published about 1907 as the list of Lewis Carrolls' ends with "Feeding the MInd". See Crutch, 223d,(1). The stamp case bears the statement on the rear: "Invented by /[Cheshire cat smile] /Lewis Carroll/MDCCCLXXXIX". The case into which it slips is the second state with the publisher's imprint above the Cheshire cat. This is a very nice set with hardly any trace of wear and only normal signs of ageing. The outer envelope is not present. Fine.

Early Gregg Shorthand edition of Alice, with shorthand plates created originally in 1915 by Georgie Gregg Gingell. An installment in a series meant to promote the use of Gregg Shorthand. Prior to computers, word processors, and the prevalent use of dictation machines, stenographers transcribed much of business and institutional correspondence, and then retyped it into sensible text. In order to better convey the diversity of the system, Gingell created an entire group of literary classics in shorthand, including Letters from a Self-Made Merchant by Latimer, Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Hamlet, Dickens' Christmas Carol, Poe's Descent into the Maelstrom, and Carroll's Alice. An early printing of the softcover edition, which was first published in softcover in 1931.
