Orr – Published by The Hubbell Publishing Co., New York. It is now time for me to find new homes for a few of my cherished editions.Ĭ1917 – A CHRISTMAS CAROL – DESIGNED BY ALAN TABOR – UNCOMMON EDITION – SIGNED BY CEDRIC CHARLES DICKENS IN 1986Ī CHRISTMAS CAROL IN PROSE BEING A GHOST STORY OF CHRISTMAS BY CHARLES DICKENS – Designed by Alan Tabor with Frontispiece by Monro S. Many scene changes with utilization of a scrim, up to fifty performers from The Walpole Players, we accepted donations at the door for the local area food shelves, raising over $27,000 during our run. Relocating to New Hampshire in 2002, in 2008 I wrote my own stage adaptation of this classic and for seven years produced it. I wanted to do readings in my bookshop in Haddonfield, NJ, but that never happened.
There were 22 auctions (41%) with a price realized below the low estimate, 16 auctions (30%) exceeding the high estimates, and 16 auctions (30%) within the range of the low and high estimates.I first visited Charles Dickens home in London in 1990 and became fascinated with A CHRISTMAS CAROL and began collecting different editions of the tale and ephemera. The overall average price was $2094 and the median price realized for the book was $900.
The lowest overall price realized in our sample was $54 and the highest overall price realized was $22705. We collected a sample of 76 auction results of Dickens, Charles's A Christmas Carol from 3 different auction houses.
No Dickens collection is complete without it. Later published editions are accessible for hundreds of dollars. First edition, first issues in excellent condition can command as much as $20,000 but first edition, second issues in lesser condition can be found in the $2,000-$5,000 range.
There is a gilt wreath and title on the cover, gilt lettering on the spine, and inside includes 4 hand-colored plates and illustrations by John Leech. The reddish-brown cloth first edition of A Christmas Carol published in 1843 (London) by Chapman and Hall boasts a two-color title page in red and blue. For book collectors, this is the apex of works by Dickens who has penned myriad well-known titles including Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. This classic winter tale of greed and redemption serves as an annual reminder there is always room in your heart for kindness to others. The holiday season would be considered incomplete without a reading or performance of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. First Edition Prices, Values and Auction Results
