Condition Report: Fine. The striking purple pictorial boards remain exceptionally bright and pristine, boasting sharp corners and firm, unbumped spine ends that show virtually no shelf-wear. The binding is remarkably tight and square, suggesting an unread volume. Internally, the text block is immaculate, with the leaves remaining crisp, unblemished, and entirely free from foxing, toning, or previous ownership inscriptions. The integrated purple silk ribbon marker is fully intact and well-preserved. A superb, notably fresh copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a modern collectors' edition that brings Lewis Carroll's timeless nonsense narrative to life alongside the iconic, original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. It was issued in sturdy pictorial hardback boards without a dust jacket, intended for both durability and aesthetic appeal.

While this is a modern reprint and readily available on the open market, it stands as a highly attractive and robust reading copy, perfectly suited for enthusiasts of classic children's literature seeking a handsome edition for their library.

Six months after her extraordinary adventures in Wonderland, young Alice steps through the mirror above her mantelpiece and into a fantastical realm operating on the peculiar logic of a giant chessboard. Here, she encounters a host of memorable and eccentric characters, including the argumentative Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the eloquent Humpty Dumpty, and the formidable Red and White Queens, on a topsy-turvy quest to become a Queen herself. Carroll’s beloved sequel remains a masterpiece of literary nonsense, enchanting generations of readers with its clever wordplay, philosophical puzzles, and enduring charm.

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.
