Description


I would venture to say that there are at least one hundred different editions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and probably more. I am looking at three different editions of the novel in this blog, but I chose just one—my favorite—for the book description.

Book description: 2010. Format: Hardcover. Trimsize: 5 3/4" x 8 1/4". Pages: 160. Smooth, cloth-like binding with metallic pink stamping on front cover and spine. Fourth printing. Full color dust jacket and full color illustrations throughout by Camille RoseGarcia (1970- ), an internationally known artist whose work has been in magazines such as Rolling Stone, Juxtapoz, and Modern Painter. Semi-glossy paper used to showcase Garcia’s illustrations. Black endpapers with a pattern of small lavender illustrations. Published by Collins Design, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers. Text first published in 1866 and written by Charles Lutwidge Dodson (1832-1898), better known as Lewis Carroll, who wrote a sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland called Throughthe Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There in 1871. Book is in excellent condition; only one previous owner. Book designed by Agniszka Stachowicz. Printed in the United States of America. No markings, bookplates, or other notes inside covers or on pages. Printed using offset lithography and commercially bound. No headband is present, not even a decorative one.
