Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Schindelman, Joseph (Illustration) (illustrator). First Edition. Scarce first edition with matching original wrapper without isbn number at back. Charming, original illustration throughout this first edition by Joseph Schindelman. Includes the infamous Oompa-Loompa illustrations (excised in later editions). The sixth line in this particular printing appears in a different font and is the sixth line, while normally it is the fifth of six lines. It appears to be printed though, does not seem to be a stamp, and the page itself is not tipped-in; so it seems original, but varying from the standard six-line first issue. Also, in my experience have seen other unexplained variations in the Knopf first, second, and early printings. E. g., the Oompa Loompa imagery and text were entirely altered following the 1964 Knopf first, and second issues with 5-line colophons; but, have actually seen examples with these Oompa Loompa illustrations and accompanying text in early printings with lime endpapers and 4-line colophons. Dark red full cloth boards, embossed title design at front board, gilt spine titles, some shelf, corner wear, rub, discoloration. Pages generally near good, some with mostly moderate discoloration, little smudge; child's semi-decorative pen markings around prefatory endpaper and dedication page. Vintage inscription at front endpaper: "Fred, Merry Christmas 1965," and directly below this: "Debbie, Merry Christmas, 1971." Exterior text block, some discoloration. Mustard endpapers. Bind good, moderate cant; hinges intact. Original dust wrapper, moderate edge wear, rub; clipped, protected in new clear sleeve. A well read, but solid and complete example. Fair to good, intact first edition in same original wrapper. Concerning the adventures of four nasty children and Our Hero with Mr. Willy Wonka and his famous candy plant. Darkly humorous, slightly creepy, and ultimately the tale of a nice guy who just might finish first, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the prolific Roald Dahl's most popular works. Life changes for a poor but kindhearted boy named Charlie Bucket when he manages to win one of five golden tickets that allows him and a guest of his choice to tour the chocolate factory of an eccentric and reclusive candy inventor named Willy Wonka. On the big day, Charlie and the other visitors are warned to obey all of Mr. Wonka's strict, but rather strange, rules for behavior. What will happen if they disobey? And why has Mr. Wonka allowed them to tour his factory in the first place? Introduces readers to such unforgettable characters as the hardworking Oompa-Loompas, the extremely spoiled Veruca Salt, and, as readers will soon discover, the aptly named Violet Beauregarde. 162 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book. Seller Inventory # 022667
