Ink on paper; modern binding
619 leaves, bound in 8 volumes ; 23 cm bound to 31 cm
Rebound in 1994 in brown morocco half leather with marbled papers over boards, in drop back solander boxes.
The writing paper is made up of 'Large Post' folio sheets that have been folded into bifolios, producing a 'Large Post' quarto, which were then torn in half by Dickens, mostly before writing. All manuscript leaves therefore have one torn side.
