What does one expect with a thrift edition? It is best used as an inexpensive stocking stuffer. This version of the immortal Xmas classic cannot be destroyed by splotchy editing and a difficult to read font size. Purchase a magnifying glass the size of a frisbee, click on the fireplace, snuggle into a Snuggie, sip some Swiss-Miss, curl into the La-Z-Boy and read this timeless work while drifting like a ghost into Xmas past.

Personally, I would purchase a finer edition than this. Dickens Christmas Carol is the type of read that must be completed via a REAL book, preferably an old leather bound edition with decorative end papers and such. The tactile creases in the paper, the creak of the bindings, light dust thumbed away on the top ream, the smell of old musks radiating from text, natural oils reflecting off the leather binding...The Kindle serves a purpose but nothing beats an old book.

There are a lot of different reprints for this book and I really wanted one with some beautiful pictures that was fun to read and not just words on a page. I was so impressed by the illustrations. There is one on almost every page! I highly recommend this and honestly couldn't believe the book was so cheap for the quality of it!!

This book remains on our coffee table. Our grandsons love the illustrations. It is a book they pick up again and again for us to read to them. They enjoy this book as much as we do.

After reading many reviews on several different versions of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, I decided this one sounded like the version I was looking for. I couldn't be more thrilled with the fact that it's unabridged and its illustrations are beautiful. I watch this story every Christmas, in most versions, but never had the written story. A professional stage production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL is offered every Season and I'd taken our sons when they were young and wanted to take our grandsons this year (2009). Well, I bought each of them a copy of the book and put their ticket for the performance inside the front cover. What a hit that was. The boys now have the memory of seeing the live performance and owning their own copy of this remarkable classic. Don't hesitate. The price is unbelievably affordable and the quality of the book is impeccable. Enjoy!
