- Year and price from brief review Manchester Guardian 1907-12-14 p5 under "More Reprints" (positive, as recently received) (The Robinson and Thomas Maybank eds. arrived "since we noticed Mr. Rackham's illustrated edition" --in turn, that notice not found May 2018.)
- Nearly full view of one copy is available at Internet Archive, including illustrated front cover and blank back cover; including blank pages such as p10, the back side of a full-page b/w drawing, p9. Missing content pages include p. 174 and the facing colour plate. As point of entry see pp. 172-73 (viewed at Internet Archive).

The view omits blank pages, including one side of each color plate, and some content pages are missing. Probable missing content pages include 2 of 8 reported plates (the first two?), a frontispiece (b/w or col), and from the Illustrations list the later b/w drawings and all the color plates.
- Front covers of those two copies show the same illustration of the Tea Party. Its depictions of Alice and the Mad Hatter are radically different from those of the interior illustrations by Robinson. See the Tea Party plate facing p. 94 (viewed at Baldwin Library) and b/w drawings on neighbouring pages.
