• Price:
  2/6^?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
• Pages: viii+161
• Format:
  hc^?Hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size.
• Type: NOVEL
• Notes: This is the 18th or 19th volume in the unnumbered Queen's Treasures reprint series, one of two new in 1914. One library record suggests that it contains the 42 original b/w drawings by John Tenniel as well as the colour plates by Woodward (OCLC 559336422). The illustrations by Woodward may be only a selection from the 1913 edition. British Library (BL, below) reports 6 plates. Publisher advertisements of the series routinely contain the general description "With 8 Coloured Plates and Decorated Cover, Title Page and End Papers." That is true of the series listing atop "Messrs. Bell's Xmas List", The Bookman 1914-12 p103, which confirms the unchanged price, "2/6 net each". Alice is one of the listed New Volumes This Year (2), which bring the complete list to stated Nineteen Old-time Favourites (19). The cover, endpapers, and title page may be illustrated by M. V. Wheelhouse, which some earlier notices of the series imply for all volumes.
