  • Notes:
    • Revised ed. Unknown nature of the revision. The pages are fewer in number and much smaller, but that is consistent with reproduction of the entire 1972 portfolio of illustrations on a smaller scale.
    • Library of Congress (LCCN, below) reports: -- joint publishers; "ISBN: 0312408463 (St. Martin's : pbk.)" -- "88 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 20 cm." (compare 103 pp, 30 cm)
    • Contents include: -- annotated portfolio of illustrations organized by title and chapter of the two novels -- p83-86, "Bibliography of Illustrated English Language-Editions" -- p87, "Selected Bibliography of Works on Carroll" Page counts hint that the first bibliography is expanded from 1972 (then two pages) but that is uncertain as the pages are smaller.
    • Price from front cover image at Amazon.com, which may be that of a later printing.
    • Cover illustration, depicting Alice and the Queen of Hearts, must be one of those by Charles Robinson for the 1970 Cassell ed. of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (see), reported as 8 colour plates. It may match the 1907 frontispiece, which is one page missing from the online reproduction at the Baldwin Library, in which compare the plate facing p. 122. It matches the front cover illustration of The Illustrated Alice in Wonderland, Pook Press, 2015 (see).
