I thought posters here might find the below interesting especially since there has been quite a bit of chatter about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass being published by Amaranthine Books. Here is info. about an interesting edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. At first I though I might purchase this special edition (The one at Bud's Art Books). Than I decided no since I would probably want Through The Looking-Glass too. ~Cap
"Hand-Numbered from 126 copies, printed on specialty Italian paper. Highly Recommended. By Lewis Carroll. Reprints, in slightly larger size, the scarce 1929 edition. Artist Willy Pogany had a long and fruitful career, illustrating children’s and adventure books, working in Hollywood, and teaching art. This wonderful new edition collects one of his scarcest and most desirable books. Nearly every page is illustrated, and the entire book is printed in two colors. Pogany’s visualization of Alice is delightful, as you can see just from the cover. His creatures are wonderful, and one or two images from this have often been collected in Alice histories. Inky Parrot Press, 2020."
"The publisher, Inky Parrot Press, is a British fine press publisher specializing in fine, very limited editions of both rare books and newly illustrated works, like this one. Their books often are sold out by publication date or shortly thereafter, and typically rise quickly in price if they can be found at all. This is already out of print; our supply is very limited."
