Description: This RARE leather definitive edition from The Oxford University Press is BRAND NEW & MINT. As you can see, half of the factory plastic is missing. That was the way I received this book along with others, and I'm not sure how it ended up like that. But it is still a brand new book that is mint and has never been opened. The only difference between this book and a sealed one with all of its factory plastic is a small portion of plastic. Literally. 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 1984 by the unfortunately now-defunct world-class Franklin Mint. This is obviously a finite and rare treasure made even more so by still being in the original plastic seal! There is a small tear in the plastic seal, but the book remains totally unaffected. This would make for a really special gift you simply can not buy in a store... I have included the photo of the two different opened books together from this special Charles Dickens series just as an example of what the cover of this book will look very similar to(but with a title-specific vignette in the center), for anyone who may be unfamiliar with these.
