thank you 🙂 I appreciate it a lot

Thank you for your comment, and yes, the damn thing made $1 billion dollars, so I guess it was impactful, and it was watched by millions, and some of them, like you, must have liked it. It’s alright, we’re all entitled to our own opinions. I will continue to critisize Burton and his adaptation, as it’s my opinion, and this is my blog. YH

Hello Susan,
From your description, it sounds like you have a unique edition, that i’m not familiar with. The torn title page will make it unattractive for most collectors, so i’d guesstimate that its value would be in the range of $15-$30, but it’s just a guess. See if you can find a similiar copy in ebay or abes books. YH

my dear Semper, yes, Ilike this version, although very early, there’s something so modern and lively about it

Well me in fact loved tim buttons alice and wonderland as well as his alice through the looking glass its my favorite I’ve literally binged it please don’t criticize it thank you!!!.

Thank you Stephen, good point, and I agree, the texts portray a dark and dangerous world, espacially Wonderland and Oz, where little girls are by themselves surrounded by insane adults (some are ouragiousely violent).
Please take my anti-Alice film adaptations rant with a spoon of salt. It was mainly a vehicle for me to voice my healthy hate for Burton’s take. I do appreciate Svankmajer’s work, it is art in its fullest. It’s just that on a sheer entertainment level, it makes for a hard watch (as any avant garde creation is, I suppose), unless thats your thing.

Hi Cate,
Thank you for your wonderful message. You nagging your Mom for a new Golden Book is a fantastic memory, thank you for sharing. I guess it was an accepted conduct back in the day, to print books without bothering to creditthe autoher and the illustrator. All the best, Yonatan

Hi Brian,
I havent seen David Hall’s take on alice, I saw some of his work in this blog, and its just fantastic! His version is
darker and full of life. Thank you for sharing this, I appreciate it!

The great Harry Rountree is certainly one of the greats, so full of life and spirit, I wrote about his incredible two set of Alices, with a detailedoverview of the second one in this blog post

That’s a great find, Jerry. Wish my copy was in a better condition, $45 for a very good condition is a great catch. Thanks for writing, take care!
Yonatan

Take care

I’m always happy to find my blod appearing in other websites / blogs / post, but i dont do any active promotion or something, life’s too short

Thak you Dave

Hello Martin,
Apologies for the late response. Thank you for writing. It’s such an honor to be related to the great Walter Hawes!
I love your great-grandfather’s Alice edition. Could you please share basic details about him, when he was born, where did he live, where did he study, when did he pass away.
What are other published works of his? Are any of the original Alice illustrations he made still in the family?
Thank you!
Yonatan

If you have any questions I could try to answer them.

Thank you Patrick, and sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your kindness

Thank you Zobear, those are great additions

Dear Joel, Yes, well, I’m ok with an edition withough the DW and in a good condition, and am keeping a regular eye out in ebay for a copy, but, they are either over $500, or with issues (tears, scribbles on covers, etc.). One of these days, ill find one thats right for me. I like that, like in Looking Glass’s Sheep and Wool episode, where Alice reaches for items that disappear from her, there are editions that are always seemingly reachable but manage to evade me.

Hi Kelvin,
Thank you for contacting me, I’d be delighted to see those. What an honor to be related to the great Harry Rountree, to have that solid connection to one of the pillars of the Alice in Wonderland universe, and owning his original works, is an immense privilege. I’ll write to you shortly.

Hi Jacqueline, thank you, that is very true. I forgot about that movie, to be honest, and it’s interesting Holm played both Dodgson in Dreamchild, and the White Knight in that BBC adaptation of Through the Looking Glass

bravo NOI SUNTEM ROMANI

Thank you for your kind words Gail, I appreciate you. I’ll come back soon enough, your feedback helps me take a step in that direction.
As for your book mystery, please share a few pics of it and it’s illustrations, and ill see if I know anything about it. Send it to: yonatan@collectingalice.com

Thank you Arnold, and yes, you are absolutely right! how did I miss that?! That’s crazy. I’m away for a few weeks, but when I’m back I’ll see if it’s my mistake or another Alice publication mystery to be solved.

Hi,
Is your book with Milo Winter’s illustrations? In any case, I would never recommend to separate illustrations from a book, unless it’s in a horrid condition (left outside to rot for ten winters, and then half eaten by a bear), only in such a case would the Gods be ok with such a suggestion, otherwise, a serious collector would go for only a complete book with all the illustrations

Hello,
You can try in Ebay (the easiest way to sell it probably), or through Abe books. I would guesstimate this book would be in the region of $25-$50 (USD), depending on its condition.

Hi Rebecca,
On one hand taking out pages from a book should be a punishable crime. however, I have come across many shabby and tattered Alice’s that using them solely for framing their illustration makes all the sense in the world. Yes that random cover. I always think some publisher just had the plates ready or something and thought, yeah what the hell. They wouldnt mind.
Thank you for the comment, cheers,
Yonatan

I love the strangeness of the cover ❣️

Hello Dianne,
What a lovely comment, thank you very much. I truly appreciate it!
While I haven’t come across the specific anomaly you decribed, I can’t say that im surprized.
There were soooo many Alice’s printed after its copyrights became public, that some were published hastly, without a lot of care.
All the best to you and yours,
Yonatan

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for commenting. I don’t think I have Simone Deleuil’s edition. I’m not sure, but by the looks of it just by the style, there’s a good chance it’s the same person. I do need to dig into it further though.
