BOOK DESCRIPTION: Dahl, Roald, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY; New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1964. First Edition, first issue with the six line colophon [printing information] on the last page.

Original red cloth, title device to upper board in blind, titles to spine gilt, top edge stained purple, mustard endpapers, original dustjacket. Illustrated by Joseph Schindelman.

Dahl's story was first immortalized on the screen in the 1971 movie (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) starring Gene Wilder and more recently in the Tim Burton version starring Johnny Depp. Both book and jacket are in NEAR FINE TO FINE condition. It would be difficult to find a cleaner example of this important 20th century book. BOOK CONDITION: Book is in NEAR FINE condition. Boards are clean with no fading, soiling, fraying, wear, or coroner bumping. Gold gilt titling is unfaded. Clean and bright purple topstain. Page edges clean and tight. Spine tight and straight with no lean or seperation. With the exception of a small prior owner's name to the front free end paper the book is internally clean with no names, bookplates, writing, foxing or wear. This is clearly an UNREAD COPY.
