Have been collecting movies based on the Dicken's Christmas Carol for years. Looked for an unabridged copy of the book in hardback and was delighted to find this one. The price was great and service was fast. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This a excellent rendition of the story wonderful illustrations and the text is large and easily read. A heirloom piece...

I, like so many others, love the story "A Christmas Carol", and I love a lot of the movies that have been done on this story, the version with Alastair Sims being my all time favorite. But I've always wanted the buy the book, and I wanted to find one that was as beautiful as the story, and this book is! Beautiful pictures, nice thick pages, nicely bound, and just pretty to look at. And the story is the unabridged version, so its Dickens actual words total and complete, and you can't beat the price! I would totally recommend this version! Buy it, you won't be sorry.

I seemed like it took forever to come but I love it. It was in great condition. The book was well made. I liked the artwork and of course the story.

I read this book in honor of Christmas, and it really put me in the Christmas mood! It's light, fun, sad, and presents an important message about Christmas. During this time of rampant commercialism and long lists to Santa, it's easy to forget that the greatest joys of Christmas come from the giving. This book illustrates the euphoria that Scrooge feels when he finally is able to give gifts, either of time, money, food, or whatever, to other people. Christmas is not about what you can get...it's about what you can give. If you want a story that will remind you of the real meaning of Christmas, this is it! In terms of story-telling, this book has classic Dickensian characters and ample humor and drama, making it a classic in its own right. If I had any criticism, it would be that the story seems to wander a bit and move even a little too fast. But it really doesn't take too much away from the experience.
