Charles Dickens: The Pickwick Papers, 1937 Macmillan Wilson Memorial Prize Book

A magnificent piece of vintage literary history! This is a scarce and highly desirable copy of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers (originally The Posthumous Papers of The Pickwick Club). Published by Macmillan & Co., Limited in 1937 as a reprint of the first edition, this hardback book is particularly special because it is a Wilson Memorial Prize edition, indicated by the handsome gold-gilt lettering and coat of arms on the deep blue cloth cover. The antique book features the original illustrations and an introduction by Charles Dickens the Younger. Though showing expected vintage wear to the spine ends and corners consistent with its age and use as a prize book, the binding is secure, the pages are clean but with some foxing, and the top edge gilt finish remains a stunning golden colour (see photos). This classic novel, a must-have for any Dickens collector or classic literature enthusiast, offers a beautiful aesthetic known as dark academia or librarycore.
