A Christmas Carol (Dickens) - Harper & Brothers True First 1st U.S. Edition 1844

Description: This is a rare and valuable edition of "A Christmas Carol" by Dickens, published by Harper & Brothers in 1844. It is THE true first American (U.S.) edition with Smith noting that after analyzing newspaper advertisements in 1844, this edition of A Christmas Carol was offered for sale on January 24, 1844…several months before the Carey & Hart edition appeared in April of 1844. This is a highly sought after edition for avid collectors of the Carol. What makes this copy even more valuable is that it was obtained from Jarndyce Antiquarian Booksellers in London (a highly respected rare book dealer in the U.K.) and has been bound in half leather with marbled boards. While the Carey & Hart edition as well as the U.K. First Edition will cost you $8,000 - $15,000, this actual first American edition can be had for much less and will make for very interesting conversations amongst your friends and family over the holidays. It is priced to sell (for much less than the original sale amount from Jarndyce of $2.100). Happy bidding!
