hardcover. Condizione: Good. Second Edition. Publication: London, Simpkin Marshall, Ltd., 1928 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xxii, 375. Condition Report: Good. The book is bound in the original blue cloth with blind-stamped borders to the boards and gilt lettering to the spine. While the structural integrity remains sound and the binding is tight, the exterior exhibits severe, uneven sun-fading, most prominently to the front board, which displays a stark contrast between a bright blue central panel and heavily bleached borders. The spine is significantly toned and dulled, with moderate rubbing and slight fraying to the head and tail. The text block edges are noticeably tanned, displaying some dust-soiling and foxing to the top edge. Internally, the pages remain clean and completely legible, albeit with typical light age-toning. The front free endpaper bears a neat ink inscription from a previous owner, dated September 1935, but the text itself remains entirely unmarked. Catalogue Note: This is the second edition, revised and greatly enlarged, of Alex. J. Philip and W. Laurence Gadd's comprehensive guide to the characters and locations in the works of Charles Dickens. The volume was issued in a blue cloth binding and served as an essential reference tool for Dickensian scholars of the early twentieth century. The book features a factual provenance, bearing the neat ink signature of a 'Granville Henley' of Portsmouth, dated September 1935, on the preliminary leaf. While later editions and modern reprints are common, original 1928 printings of this revised edition appear infrequently on the open market, particularly in structurally sound condition. An indispensable resource for any Charles Dickens enthusiast, A Dickens Dictionary offers a meticulously detailed alphabetical guide to the vast array of characters, places, and scenes that populate the author's beloved novels and miscellaneous works. Originally published in 1909 and substantially revised and enlarged for this 1928 second edition, this reference work serves as a testament to the enduring complexity and richness of Dickens's literary universe. Whether you are tracing the footsteps of David Copperfield or unravelling the extensive cast of Bleak House, this dictionary remains a fascinating and practical companion to one of literature's greatest world-builders.
