[First Edition] A Christmas Carol In Prose Being A Ghost Story of Christmas. DICKENS, Charles [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] 9785.18 CAD FIRST EDITION SECOND ISSUE. 1 vol., 6-5/8" x 4-7/16", chapter heading reading "Stave One", illustrated with 4 hand colored engraved plates by John Leech and 4 black and white illustrations by W.J. Linton, internally clean and bright, mild offsetting to color plates. Bound in the original straight grained rose colored cloth, gilt tile and wreath to spine and front cover, front cover has a perfect 'D' in 'Dickens', yellow pastedowns and endpapers, all edges gilt, front hinge expertly repaired, head of spine renewed, general handling, uneven stain to rear cover, overall still a GOOD+ copy. Regarded as Dicken's most widely read novel and considered to be "the greatest Christmas book ever written in any language" (Eckel p. 116) selling more than 6000 copies in the few days leading up to Christmas. The work was extravagantly costly as Dickens for the first time (and incidentally his last) used color in the title-page and etchings as he wanted to make the book a beautiful gift and to be a celebration of the Christmas spirit. After the initial success, Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840's, maintaining "the Carol" philosophy to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed.

[First Edition] The Flight of the Falcon - Daphne du Maurier - First Edition - 1965 - Doubleday - DJ - Inscribed Daphne du Maurier [Used - Very good] 70.18 CAD The First Edition of Daphne du Maurier's "The Flight of the Falcon" states "First Edition in the United States of America" on the copyright page. Published by Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York, 1965. By 1965, Daphne du Maurier needed no introduction. Rebecca had made her one of the most famous novelists in the English-speaking world, and The Flight of the Falcon was marketed in exactly those terms, "In the great tradition of Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and The Scapegoat, a new masterpiece of haunting atmosphere and hypnotic suspense." This is a du Maurier novel of obsession and identity: a young Italian courier becomes entangled in a murder in Rome, a woman who inexplicably stirs his memory. His search for her identity leads him back to Ruffano, the hill town he fled as a boy during the retreating German army's final days in Italy. It's a town haunted by a 500-year-old legend of cruelty, and by something far more immediate and personal. The atmosphere is pure du Maurier: beautiful, unsettling, and suffused with the Gothic dread she perfected across four decades. This copy carries a lovely Christmas inscription: "Dear Grandy, We hope you enjoy this book, and have a very Merry Christmas. Love Always, Robyn & Mike," dated December 25, 1965, gifted the same year of publication. First Edition in the United States of America. Copyright © 1965 by Daphne du Maurier. Published by Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York. LC Card 65-10613. 301 pages. Jacket by Casey Lubin. Serialized in Good Housekeeping Magazine. Book is in Very Good condition, with deep rust/orange cloth boards over green cloth, binding tight and square throughout, pages toned throughout with age (as expected for a 60-year-old copy), otherwise clean and unmarked except for the Christmas inscription on the FFEP. Dust jacket is Good with warm ochre/gold tones with Italian cityscape illustration, original price ($4.95) unclipped on front flap, significant chipping and splitting at spine crown, toning and soiling to rear panel, otherwise design intact and colors present. Protected in mylar. Condition: Very Good / Good DJ A genuine first edition of a du Maurier Gothic thriller, given as a Christmas gift the year it was published.
