This gorgeous RARE & UNREAD definitive edition from The Oxford University Press is NEAR PERFECT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. This is a brand new book simply outside of its plastic seal. The entire text block is still stuck together at the gilt edges because the pages have never even been separated for the first time after having been treated with gold leaf during production. The satin ribbon bookmark was moved for the first time from its original position by me. These definitive Charles Dickens editions also have special features like an index of all the characters' names and their roles and relationships in the novels, and lists of all the many illustrations and their information and attribution to the multiple different artists, for example. This book's production was limited to 7,500 units when it was manufactured back in 1985 by the unfortunately now-defunct world-class Franklin Mint, so there is a finite and very limited number of these sumptuous books.
