First thus. Quarto, pp. 128. Colour frontispiece and profusely illustrated with a further 3 colour full-page plates and 60 monochrome photographs. Publisher’s sky blue quarter cloth with laminated pictorial upper board in an unclipped pictorial dust-jacket. A remarkably fresh copy with a little fading to the head and tail of the spine of the book. The well preserved dust-jacket has a little loss to the head of the spine and a small closed tear to the lower panel but is quite freash and not price-clipped. A near fine copy. The 1951 film-tie in edition, heavily illustrated with photographs from the film; starring Alastair Sim in one of his most enduring performances. Sim would over time become synonymous with the role with some calling him performance the ‘definitive’ Scrooge. £75.00
