Collector Notes
Macmillan editions from the 1890s remain among the most collectible American editions of Alice\'s Adventures in Wonderland. Copies retaining their original binding, publisher\'s catalogue, and clean interiors are increasingly difficult to locate.
This copy would make an excellent addition to a Lewis Carroll, Victorian literature, or illustrated children\'s book collection.
