A Bibliography of the Writings of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, M.A.), Sidney Herbert Williams — First Edition

Publication: London, At the Office of "The Bookman's Journal", 1924

Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. [xiv], 142, [4].

Condition Report: Very Good. 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.

Catalogue Note: This is a First Edition, strictly limited to 700 numbered copies, of which 650 were made available for sale. This specific copy is hand-numbered 470 on the limitation page.

The volume is bound in the original half-cloth over boards. While later bibliographical works eventually expanded upon this research, this printing remains the pioneering effort to comprehensively catalogue Dodgson's complex literary output. There is no significant previous ownership provenance or bookplates present in this copy.

As a limited run, this edition is uncommon on the open market, particularly in sound structural condition, though it frequently appears in specialised Carrollian collections rather than general circulation.

A foundational resource for collectors and scholars alike, this bibliography was the first comprehensive attempt to document the expansive and intricate writings of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, universally celebrated as Lewis Carroll. Compiled by Sidney Herbert Williams, this limited-edition volume meticulously details the myriad first editions, scarce pamphlets, and obscure periodical contributions of the Alice in Wonderland author. It remains a handsome and historically significant reference piece that captures the early days of dedicated Carrollian scholarship.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
