About this Item

After Dickens' fame skyrocketed with the publishing of Pickwick, Dickens was able to buy out his agreements with Macrone. Macrone died unexpectedly at age 28 and Dickens helped to publish a book (Pic-Nic Papers) to benefit Macrone's widow and children. Brown, stiff printed wrappers; sewn. Now housed in a clear archival mylar sleeve 1st edition (Gimbel D208). Limited to 50cc (this stamped #4).
