DICKENS (CHARLES)
Great Expectations, 3 vol., first edition in book form, third issue of volume 1, first issue of volumes 2 and 3, without the publisher's catalogue in volume 3 (Smith states "some copies of all the first five issues... did not contain catalogue"), polished calf gilt by Kaufmann, red and green morocco spine labels, t.e.g., slightly rubbed, scuffmarks on lower board of volume 3 [Eckel 91-93; Smith I, 14], 8vo, Chapman & Hall, 1861
Footnotes
The first five issues of Great Expectations "were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title-pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale... In all five issues, the same misprints persist" (Smith).
Saleroom notices
To clarify volume 1 is third impression, ie. (as per Clarendon Appendix D) with "third edition" printed on title-page.
