This is a wonderful edition of a Christmas classic. Combines the eloquent prose of Dickens with a classic leather cover, beautiful gilt pages, and a crisp, clean font. Saw it in the book store in December and really couldn't help myself.

To stay within the confines of this book... the quality of this publication of the two most popular Christmas stories was very well done. The quality is in line with those books put out by Easton Press, but without the extreme price associated with their books. I have several Easton Press books and I have this leather bound book displayed right subsequent to them. The only difference is this Deluxe Edition by Literary Classics has a bit of a cushions cover where most Easton Press books aren't. The paper used is of standard hardbound paper stock and will stand up to the test of time very well (I think).
The two Christmas classics included in the book "A Christmas Carol" and "The Night Before Christmas" are both edited well and presented with a series of older reproduction prints. The few pictures are very nice for the time period they were made in, which reflects well on the book itself. It would have been nice if there were more graphic prints within the two stories for children to look at so they could follow along, but then again, this isn't exactly a childrens book either. I also loved the fact that Literary Classics stayed true with the authors original texts and did not stray with modern time transalations of the narratives, but stayed with the original manuscripts. The old english grammer is wonderful as tradition calls for, but sometimes it can be a little hard to understand.
This book will always have a place of honor in my library for many Christmas' to come and I would highly recommed it to anyone who is looking for a quality bound reprint that stays true to the original manuscripts. If you are wanting a book that has more pictures/graphics for children to read and look at, then this book isn't for you.
