ROALD DAHL~CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY~1ST/2ND ED












Description

 

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

ROALD DAHL

This auction is for the rare first edition, second printing (with the 5 line colophon on the back page see images) of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY by Roald Dahl, printed in 1964 by Alfred A. Knopf.

Red cloth with imprint of 'Charlie Chocolate Factory' on front cover, mustard paste downs and end papers. Small inscriptions on front and rear papers (see images). The boards have tape ghosts and worn/frayed edges. Although there is a library stamp on the top of outer page edges (top of page block), there are no internal stamps, no pocket remnants, no other evidence that the book was an ex-lib book. About 6 pages in the book show evidence that a child was eating chocolate while reading this book and got chocolate smudges on those pages.

The dust jacket is in good condition with edgewear/slight chipping to the top of spine and a chip and library sticker to the bottom of the spine (see image). The white of the dust jacket is age toned, but there are no rips to the jacket.

Still a less expensive alternative to this highly collectible book, and would make a great gift on a budget!
