Signed Association Copies

Just occasionally copies of books that are quite common bear important inscriptions. Always read the small print !  Here are three books written by Lewis Carroll’s nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood ( son of Mary Dodgson) written at the time of Carroll’s death in 1898. One has a presentation inscription by Wilfred ( Carroll’s brother), the second bears M. Dodgson’s inscription ( either Mary or Margaret)  and the Lewis Carroll Picture Book is inscribed by the author to a Mrs Fuller, from the family home The Chestnuts in Guildford, with an autograph letter on the rear endpaper. The photograph shows four books ; the fourth contains an autograph third person letter by Dodgson himself dated 8 June 1884 in purple ink. This item I was very pleased to have because I already had a letter also by Dodgson dated 4 days earlier to the same bookseller Meehan of  Bath
