Please note: I’m a microbiologist, not a bookseller, so I really can’t help with valuing your books- apart from doing an abebooks search, which you can do as easily as I can 🙂
I’m starting ths mainly an attempt to keep track of my ever expanding collection of Alice books, but if anyone else comes and visits, I’d be delighted.
And if anyone can point me in the direction of cool sites, or books I don’t have yet…. even better.
Evertype (that’s me) is publishiing a range of Alice materials now. Alice in Irish, Cornish, and Esperanto (with German, French, Italian, Swedish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh planned), Looking-Glass in English and Irish. Keith Sheppard’s new “Wonderland Revisited and the Games Alice Played There”. Anna Matlack Ruchards’ “A New Alice in the Old Wonderland” (originally published in 1895). “Slice’s Adventures under Ground” and “The Hunting of the Snark” came out recently, and “The Nursery Alice” will be out in a few weeks. And much more is planned…
That’s great: thanks for the info!
Estherase, can you drop me a line off-line?
Hi Estherase, It would be great if you could take a look at our website to check out Storypods’ Alice in Wonderland audiobook which has received positive feedback from the President of Lewis Carroll Society of North America and the audiobook reviewer of UK’s national newspaper The Times. The CD consists of the whole of Alice’s Adventures ‘narrated’ very entertainingly by eight actors from Oxfordshire, UK. As a bonus, the CD contains a few of Carroll’s nonsense poems and prose extracts, including the popular Jabberwocky. Your readers might be interested to know that we are currently holding an online nonsense verse and prose competition and the deadline is August 15. All the details are on our website: http://www.storypods.co.uk where you can also hear a sample from our audiobook. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries. All the best, Liz
Thanks Liz! Will check it out 🙂
Russian blogger who has a interesting section about illustration of Alice (both in published books and unpublished ones) with nice images:

Some wonderful things on there: thanks!
I have just returned to Alice after many years away and like her better than ever: http://silverseason.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/lewis-carroll-alice-in-wonderland/. I am taking a Lewis Carroll course and have just sent the instructor a link to your site.
Thank-you! I’m very flattered 🙂
Hi,
I’m from France.
I organise in two weeks “La semaine d’Alice” (Alice’s Week) on my literature blog. I found your website today. It’s Awesome ! I love it.
A lot of ideas.
Can I give the address of your website to my readers ?
If you are interest you can check what I have written on Alice last weeks

Perhaps you’d be interested in visiting a blog called the Altered Alice. Each month, the blog owner challenges her readers to create art based on Alice in Wonderland.

Thanks! I’ll have a look…
Hi! Was wondering whether you already have the Wonderland/Looking Glass illustrated by Anne Bachelier. I haven’t seen it on here. Just got mine last Monday direct from the publisher (CFM Gallery). Lovely surrealist stuff.
No! I missed that one…. I’ll have to try and track a copy down…
Thanks for the info…
Hi! My name is Maayan and I’m also an Alice collector. Your blog is great! I mostly collect different vintage editions of the books (my oldest is from 1859) and not Alice related books, but they all seem very interesting.. any one you would particularly recommend?
I must admit I like the Guinness Alices and Janice in Tomorrowland, but it’s always fun finding something new in a bookshop somewhere…
Hi, Have a look at; https://sites.google.com/site/lewiscarroll1steditions/ it has all the Alice stuff and a link to other Alice pages.
You asked about books you don’t have yet, so I thought I might tell you about… mine! It’s a poetry book that just came out called “Alice’s Sister.” It seeks to re-envision why Alice was having such strange dreams. The whole book is narrative poetry, which means it has a plot, characters, etc. And there are of course Carrollian influences, like patterns and Jabberwocky poems.
You can read more at my publisher’s website–http://www.turningpointbooks.com/jessica-young.html. Or my own–https://sites.google.com/site/jessicayoungpoetry/home.
Many thanks,
Jessica Young
Thanks! I’ll check it out 🙂
Hi Esther.
I thought you might like to take a look at something we created on our website! We looked at fantasy doors and of course, one of the most famous fantasy doors is Alice’s door to Wonderland! We thought it would be a fun little addition to our site 🙂 Check it out and let us know what you think! http://www.ukoakdoors.co.uk/info-alices-door

Hi,
I love your Alice reviews.
Are you on Instagram by any chance? Because I have several French Alices that might interest you 🙂
