BEST BOOK ! A Christmas Carol: A Facsimile of the Original 1843 Edition

 Just before Christmas I found a book that reprinted the original Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" as it appeared when it was published! Same cover, same print, same artwork! It was one of the best books I've ever purchased. I finished reading it earlier this month, and there was so much I didn't remember from when I read it decades ago. Movies just don't do it justice. You need to read the original book and see the original artwork. It's of course 5 of 5 stars. This version is a treasure worth keeping and re-reading every year. Its available on Amazon for $19.95 and it's hardcover .What more could you ask?

[PER THE PUBLISHER: These two options have been gently updated layout to conform with modern printing methods, with easier to read text compared to the facsimile and similar very minor adjustments.]

Note: THIS EDITION IS A FACSIMILE. That means it is EXACTLY as was originally published. For that reason, it has the magic of the original, but also contains all the blemishes and defects which were common to books printed almost 200 years ago. Reader beware. Further, the original illustrator, John Leech, did not use a computer or graphic editing to create his illustrations. llustrations at the time were created as engravings which had to be colored by hand, or through wood cuts. They were not mofidied or enhanced for this edition. It is a FACSIMILE!
