A book most definitely for the bibliophile.
A definitive (for 1880) list of Dickens' works, books, magazine contributions, letters to newspapers and serials, together with an exhaustive list of letters that had been identified up to that point (of course, Dickens told his correspondents to burn all his letters - fortunately many did not do so thus many are recorded) and a bibliography of books and articles that relate to him.
I particularly liked the mention of James Cook's 'Bibliography of the Writings of Charles Dickens' because, as a rival, Shepherd does a complete hatchet job on it. It is noted in his own bibliography as an item (no 61 in the relevant section) but then he picks holes in it, queries how such an error-riddled book could possibly be published and then appends two pages of corrections, which I suspect is the tip of the iceberg!
It is not a reading book as it were, although I have read it from cover to cover, but it is an invaluable work for the Dickens' scholar and a most interesting one for the general reader who cares for the author and his works. In addition there is lots of interesting trivia concerning his works.
This first edition, originally issued in wrappers but this one bound by an amateur into board covers, was not cheap but I deem it worth every penny.
