About This Item
[N.p.], 1893. 1 vols. 8vo leaf, printed on one side. With a faint crease through the center horizontally, a couple extremely short marginal tears. Near fine. 1 vols. 8vo leaf, printed on one side. The advertisement begins: "For over 25 years, I have made it my chief object, with regard to my books, that they should be of the best workmanship attainable for the price. And I am deeply annoyed to find that the last issue of "Through the Looking-Glass," consisting of the Sixtieth Thousand, has been put on sale without its being noticed that most of the pictures have failed so much, in the printing, as to make the book not worth buying..." Carroll goes on to ask everyone who has purchased the book to return it to the publishers, to be exchanged for a copy of the next issue. He generously proposes that the unsold copies be given to various institutions whose funds are short for such purchases. This advertisement was inserted into copies of Sylvie and Bruno Concluded and was also published in the 'Agony Column' of The Times on December 2, 1893. Williams, Madan & Green, No. 249
