The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club
By Dickens, Charles
Five volumes, complete. The true first edition of Dickens's first book, Pickwick Club, which came out as a book in the US before the first UK book edition. Like most of Dickens' novels, this novel was issued in shilling installments before being published as complete volumes. All five volumes are in the first state, very rare thus. We are aware of no other complete first state sets for sale on the market. Very good original condition, unrestored. This is the first printing of the first published book by Dickens. Housed in a handsome custom-made collector's clamshell case with leather spine.
