Oh well, the OP hasn't even replied yet so this will be his reaction: :comeback:
LMAO my two informatives were changed to dumbs. I'm not the one who skips right to the bold part of any article.
but it is old so it has to be worth SOMETHING.
I hate the feeling of jealousy. It hurts very bad. :saddowns:
Go on the antiques roadshow program, those old farts will till you how much your lump of paper is worth.

Uhh...re read his post :frown:
I guarantee its worth a lot less, as one worth any large amount of money would be in mint or near mint condition.
if it's an original copy of "through the looking glass" then i'm guessing it's worth a good amount of money

[QUOTE=MR-X;22695340]I've always wondered what the true original for Alice in Wonderland was. I heard somewhere that it was more of an adult geared book that was pretty twisted or something like that. Anyone here know? I dunno if what what i was told is true or not, but just wondering.[/QUOTE]
lewis carol made it up and told it to some girl (whose name i think was alice) on a trip he went on, then decided to publish it.

The pages are good, just the covers, the red part on the binding, and a bit of wear on the back and front covers are bad.
Through the Looking Glass is the sequel to "Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland". How the hell did you manage to get hold of an old copy like that? It's astounding.
yea op you should probably try and find out how the book got into your attic in the first place
The house was build in 1900 and it was here when we moved here.
well then it looks like someone left you a pretty good present -- you should find a specialist on it...

I bet it was just some random kid who had the book.
Your are one lucky bitch.
It's a sequel to Lewis G Carol's Alice in Wonderland
take it to a pawn shop. they usually have people there that know what they're talking about with this type of stuff. i'm sure they can help you out.
The condition of the book looks pretty poor, you should have it appraised.

No, it should be in there. From wikipedia-
[code]Poems and songs
* Prelude
* Jabberwocky (seen in the mirror-house)
* Tweedledum and Tweedledee
* The Lion and the Unicorn
* The Walrus and the Carpenter
* Humpty Dumpty
* "In Winter when the fields are white..."
* Haddocks' Eyes / The Aged Aged Man / Ways and Means / A-sitting on a gate (see Haddocks eyes) The song is A sitting on a gate, but its other names and callings are placed above.
* To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said...
* White Queen's riddle
* "A boat beneath a sunny sky" is the first line of a titleless acrostic poem at the end of the book—the beginning letters of each line, when put together, spell Alice Pleasance Liddell.[/code]
Why don't you go take it to someone who might actually know instead of relying on facepunch?
(not trying to sound like a dick)

It's nice to know you found this and all but I'm sure you want to know the true value
Take it to an antique specialist or a book dealer.

Help you out of owning the book, more like.
Why the hell would you take a potentially valuable book to a pawnbrokers? They'd rip you off and then they'd get rich!
