Great price too.
This looks really good. There is only one thing bugging me about it though. The cover says it has Through The Looking Glass in it as well. But the sidebar says it has only 136 pages. Which is the same as the normals Alice In Wonderland. Through The Looking Glass paperback edition on amazon has 208 by itself.

Much appreciated! I will look into this a little further.

For me, using anybody else's art for Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass is akin to putting new art in a Dr. Seuss book, it simply shouldn't be done. My girlfriend has it somewhere in the house. I'll ask after the title and give you an Amazon link.
That would be great! Thank you. And yes, I agree. I have a set of books that have some of the old stories in them. They are falling apart though. They contained the original artwork. One of the stories was a part from Alice In Wonderland. Unfortunately the person whom owned the books before I got them, thought it would be great fun to draw in them with an ink pen.
