This listing is for a very early bound printing of "A Visit From St. Nicholas," dated 1837. This rare printing is one of the earliest. It measures 6 x 9 inches with 636 pages. Construction is hardcover, black leather over boards with gilt titles and marbled page edges. The poem is accompanied by a short introduction with one of the first author attributions to Clement C. Moore. The book itself is about current events and items of interest in 1837, so it makes for interesting reading. At 188 years old, it is in excellent condition overall. The covers are beautifully rebound and show minimal wear. The first few pages have slight edge frays, but after that, the pages are very nice and remarkably clean. Binding is tight. The poem is on page 99. On consignment from a lifelong Christmas collector. Thanks for looking!
