OCLC 19920519. Reprint from plates of the first book edition, first published 1839. Dickens's fifth published novel, originally issued in 19 monthly parts, the final part a double number. Writing it, he attempted to create something more ambitious than either the Pickwick Papers or Oliver Twist. The novel has a comparatively simple structure, but in the manner of older novels that Dickens admired, such as Fielding's Joseph Andrews, it has a multiplicity of plots, all of which in some way connect to the penniless young hero. Nickleby was an immediate success, selling nearly 50,000 copies, earning profits of £14,000 for the serial publication alone, and attracting more notice than Dickens had previously received previously.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good-. First Edition. Octavo, 624pp., illustrated with 39 plates, plus frontispiece portrait of the author. Bears the crucial first-issue points identifying this as having been bound from the original parts, with errors on pp. 123, 160, 245, and 272, and the publisher's imprint on the first four plates. Bound in contemporary 3/5 burgundy morocco and marbled boards, with marbled endpapers, gilt spine title and copartments. Generally crisp and sound, with the front inner hinge thinly cracked, but holding, one leaf of the Contents re-attached with clear tape at the gutter. Plates foxed, some quite heavily, but they are all present (albeit with a few inserted a leaf or two away from where they ought to be; common in these early Dickens editions, bound from parts). Text mostly quite clean and vibrant. Two handsome bookplates to the front endpapers, along with a small pasted-on news clipping related to the book. Altogether, a nearly very good copy. Conforms to Gimbel A40 (that copy still in its original parts, and identified in that esteemed Dickens collection as being the earliest edition of "Nicholas Nickleby"). A decent, complete, and unrestored example of this early Dickens classic. Any prospective buyers with strong opinions on the various errors and issue points is encouraged to ask me specific questions before purchasing the book.

Two of the four plates up to p.45 have the imprint of Chapman and Hall, which indicates that they come from the 'earliest issues of the monthly parts' (Hatton and Cleaver, p.134). Recent green half morocco, with raised bands, gilt titles to a red label, gilt ruling to spine, and marbled paper over boards. All edges trimmed, with marbled endpapers.
