About this Item
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. By Charles Dickens and printed in New York City by James Turney. 1838, 609 pp, 8.75 x 5.75 , 8vo, hardcover original boards. In fair condition, with rubbing and wear to boards. Some wear to leather on spine. Hinges remain in good condition with minor wear and text block remains bound well, despite wear. Staining to pages around corners, primarily towards the bottom. Marginalia towards front of book, along with early bookseller sticker from J.B. Lippincott and Co. in Philadelphia. Filled with numerous black-and-white illustrations throughout. General age-related toning to pages, along with periodic foxing. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. A scarce 1st American edition of the influential novel by Charles Dickens, which popularized serialized writing, cliffhanger endings, and a wide range of plays and other cultural impacts. Like many early Dickens works, this edition was pirated from the British version, due to weak copyright laws in the United States at the time. Includes an early bookseller sticker from J.B. Lippincott and Co., founded only 2 years prior in Philadelphia and would grow to one of the largest American publishers for decades in a row. COLL1838BFIW-0823-aj0413.
