Description:
Christmas, 1893. First Edition. Near fine. One 18 cm printed sheet. Tiny spot at bottom edge. The author requsts that any buyer disatisfied with the Sixtieth Thousand of Through the Looking-Glass may return it to Messrs. Macmillan & Co to exchange for the next issue. The issue's pictures failed so that the book was "not worth buying." Carroll proposes to send the copies to Mechanics' Institutes, Village Reading-Rooms, etc. In the future, he will communicate to his Readers in the newspaper Agony Columns. Copies of this leaf were placed in most volumes of Sylvie and Bruno Concluded.

Description:
Bournbrook, Birmingham: C. H. Foyle of Boxfoldia Ltd., 1940. Originally printed for private circulation and not for sale. Hardcover. Very good. 55 p. 25 cm. 12 full-page b&w illustrations by the author. Grey paper-covered boards with tan cloth spine. Mild wear to covers, corners bumped. Front endpaper has label of former owner, small pencil marks and slight soiling. Moderate foxing on page opposite preface. Arthur Wragg exploited the "Alice" legend to create this criticism of wartime Britain's paper rationing. A socialist and pacifist, Wragg was also an illustrator, and therefore created his own pictures to accompany the text. The work condemns censoring, regulations, quotas, bureaucracy, economists, etc. Interesting, but the reference to Alice smoking a cigarette on page 11 may not satisfy modern taste!
