This is a very good hardcover in very good slipcase WITH the original Heritage Press Sandglass pamphlet. Heritage Press circa 1960's.

Copyright pages were not updated, just repeated for the Macy and Heritage Press imprints, same publishing company. This copy is crisp and clean inside and out. Pages are crisp, clean and free of markings. Handsome sewn binding is tight and straight. Decorated linen cover boasts red filigree and lettering. Illustrated by Henry C. Pitz, a personal friend of Dickens. The slipcase accompanying this edition is also in very good condition. There is only a hint of wearing.
This classic novel from Charles Dickens follows the fortunes of a shipping firm owner. His frustrations at not having a son to follow in his footsteps lead him to initially reject his daughter's love before reconciling before his death. The son Dombey does have is sickly and despite stays at a health centre and slight health improvements, he does not and cannot be the son Dombey wishes for. The classic Dickens themes follow arranged marriage, betrayal, and social class relations.
