Excellent Reissue of a Classic
Here's the Reader's Digest version.Pros: Beautiful binding, original John Tenniel illustrations, third Alice adventure in Carroll's (Dodgson's) handwritingCons: NoneThe book is wonderful. I picked this up - one for me, one as a gift - and it has occupied a place of honor on my shelves ever since. The gilt on the binding has held up well despite several rereadings and some rough handling. The Tenniel illustrations add a richness to the stories that just is not present in text-only versions. The presence of all of Carroll's fictional works in one volume means I do not have to wonder where my copy of one book is - they are all in one place.Highly recommended for fans of Carroll's work and Tenniel's art.

Lewis Carroll: The Compete Works
My 15 year old daughter is a Lewis Carroll fan. She loves this book,[[ASIN:0517147815 Lewis Carroll: The Complete, Fully Illustrated Works, Deluxe Edition] the beautiful cover, ]illustrations and the typeface. My husband and I both ordered copies of the "Complete works" without telling each other. He spent more for his copy and it is not anywhere near as nice. The seller discription was correct and my choice is the one she is keeping (*wink*) she is going to sell the other copy.

Gramercy Books definitely ain’t The Easton Press
Print size is good (easy to read); love the old prints; but padded bonded leather (?) binding is so-so (definitely not more durable Easton Press); and though it was published in 1995, the chintzy paper already looks like an old, yellowed newspaper.

Excellent book. Just what I was looking for.
Love this book. Has everything I was hoping for from Lewis Carroll. Nicely laid out and easy to read your favorite parts first.

Beautiful!
I loved it.It has the complete illustrated works of Lewis Carroll, including a facsimile of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, which is is the first draft of Wonderland.Oh, and by the way, it's a much prettier dark blue than it looks like. Leatherbound, it's well worth the purchase if you like Alice at all!

Not exactly as advertised
The book arrived well on time but not exactly as I was expecting. The cover is wrong and the page count is 870 pages not 880. Still a good book though, just not the one I was expecting.

lewis carroll の完全版
ルイス・キャロルの作品を網羅した一冊。厚さは5cm弱で、B5のノートを一回り小さくしたサイズ。装丁はみなさんがレビュー済みなので省きます。ちょっと変わってるなって思ったのは、表紙。表紙の厚紙とはってある革との間に隙間があるらしく、うちのは少しぶよぶよとした触り心地でした。こういう装丁の加減も、洋書らしさではあると思いますけれど。挿絵は各話代表的なのを取ってきてる、のかな…手書きのような字の作品があったりと、中身はなかなか面白いです。ちょっとマニアックなものも収録されているようなので、アリスだけでなく楽しめる一冊だと思います。

コレクションに一冊!
アリス、キャロルファンの方には、ぜひお勧めします!不思議の国のアリスから、スナーク狩り、シルヴィとブルーノ(もちろん完全版も)、更に、あまり単独では見つからない?こんがらがった話(算数の問題が組み込まれた子供向け物語)などなど、みんな入っていますので一冊で楽しめます。ブルーのカバーに金文字の見た目もおしゃれ(個人的な意見ですが)。更にお勧めポイントは、イラストも全てオリジナルというところです、まさに完全版という感じです。好きな方はコレクションに一冊いかがでしょう。

蔵書にも最適
皮表紙のような装丁です。本の頭,腹,底の部分は,金色となっています。本の大きさは,日本の単行本を一回り大きくして縦に少し長いです。本棚に入れておいても見映えがします。 内容は,他の方のコメントにあるようにまさに,コンプリートにふさわしい内容です。装丁を別にしても,この内容でこの値段というのはすごいです。
