Leatherette, 8vo, top edge gilt, xvi, 272, [6] pp, frontispiece and 28 plates. A revised and enlarged edition of Eckel's 1913 work "The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens and their Values." A Bibliography".v Approximately 100 entries. A Eckel provides a great deal of bibliographic detail for identification of true first editions. According to Dickens scholar Duane DeVries: "Eckel's work still stands, despite criticism of its writing style and its errors, as the standard modern bibliography of Dickens's writings, though one directed more toward collectors than scholars.One can easily see why the volume is both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it provides far more information about the works it considers than any previous bibliography had, and it covers the entire range of Dickens's works, from the major novels to the smallest contribution to Household Words, with information on advertisements in the monthly parts of all the serialized novels and a collation of the advertisements and information on the inside and outside of the back wrappers. On the other hand, the information provided a not always full, not always accurate, and not always consistent from one work to the next." Accompanying the book is a 2-page handwritten note from Eckel, explaining how he reached certain conclusions in the book.
