The book maintains its structural integrity with a secure, tight binding. The original quarter brown cloth and paper-covered boards show only minor signs of handling, with slight rubbing and bumping to the corners and extremities. The gilt tooling to the spine remains bright and entirely legible. Internally, the text block is clean and largely free of foxing, retaining its traditional untrimmed edges, though there is pronounced offset browning and spotting to the endpapers, a common characteristic of the paper stock used during this period. The hinges are sound, presenting a highly presentable and sturdy copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a First Edition, strictly limited to 700 numbered copies, of which 650 were made available for sale.

While later bibliographical works eventually expanded upon this research, this printing remains the pioneering effort to comprehensively catalogue Dodgson's complex literary output.

Compiled by Sidney Herbert Williams, this limited-edition volume meticulously details the myriad first editions, scarce pamphlets, and obscure periodical contributions of the \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e author. It remains a handsome and historically significant reference piece that captures the early days of dedicated Carrollian scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54507566530899,"sku":"4940","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260730_233843.jpg?v=1786014715","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/a-bibliography-of-the-writings-of-lewis-carroll-charles-lutwidge-dodgson-m-a","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
