To even find books this old uncut is incredibly rare. To find such a early and sought after dickens title in original cloth is something else. The whole book is uncut. From the first page of a christmas carol. I am guessing the pages before the actual stories where not uncut from the start. The book has a beautiful ex-libris note stitched on inner-side of front-board. A part on upper part of spine has been reglued. The book has some small wear and scuffs but is in overall good condition still. The pages are uncut and thus this volume has never been read.
