All in all if you want to read A Christmas Carol as nearly as it was when it was first written this edition is for you.Also available as a soft cover edition and as a facsimile (info below).Note: John Leechs illustrations were created as engravings which had to be colored by hand or through wood cuts. Due to the desire to create an edition that is as faithful to the original as modern typesetting technology will allow they were not mofidied or enhanced for this edition. Readers should be aware that Leech did not produce his illustrations using computers as this method which does in fact allow tremendous clarity was not invented for more than a hundred years later. Furthermore while this edition is in full color not all of Leechs illustrations were in color. Many of them were in black and white. Only the ones that were in full color are in this edition in full color. An exact facsimile (with some of these same caveats) is available in the edition with this ISBN: 978-1-1645940-38-8
