Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Charles Dickens, 1st Ed. 1837
Colloquially known as the Pickwick Papers, this was Dicken's first full length work and was originally serialised in 19 installments. Dicken's introduced the character Sam Weller in the fourth episode which became the spark for the tale's success. The publication became a phenomenon with bootleg editions and spin-offs including a Sam Weller Joke Book appearing alongside the serialisation - much to Dickens' frustration. Nevertheless, it was Pickwick's success, fame and notoriety that launched Charles Dickens on to the world. This edition, showing its considerable age a little, is true piece of our literary heritage.
