- Only 6 copies of the first edition are known to exist (it is unclear whether that claim refers to the Appleton edition or the Macmillan edition).
- "The true first edition comprising 2,000 copies was recalled by Dodgson as he felt the printing of Tenniel's illustrations inadequate, and was never offered for public sale. For this new edition the book was reset by the printer Richard Clay from a copy of the 1865 Alice (prepared by The Clarendon Press, Oxford); it is this version which formed the basis for all future Macmillan editions." -- Bloomsbury Auctions
- Printed and released in Dec. 1865, but with an 1866 date.
- Interior illustrations include 42 woodblock engraved illustrations by Tenniel.
- Information from Wikipedia. See especially the Publication History for the distinction between this and the 1865 Appleton edition. (Wikipedia says that Tenniel objected to the original print quality.)
- Additional data from {{OCLC|559333904}}, a WorldCat library record of the 1st printing -- "The so-called 'first (recalled)--issue of the First edition', printed for Macmillan by the Oxford University Press and subsequently condemned by the author."
