Collectors and sellers of early-American Editions of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are occasionally frustrated in trying to decide what version of the book they have and the date of publication. The author has solved much of the ambiguity surrounding these editions and hence the title Much of a Muchness (a Shakespearian quote by the Dormouse at the Mad Tea Party). Byron W. Sewell documented his findings in a bibliography privately published in 1992 in an edition severely limited to 17 copies for fellow Lewis Carroll collectors. Though some mysteries still remain, this bibliography is the best source currently available for the period 1866 - 1960. It is here reprinted for the first time in a facsimile edition. Unlike the first edition, which lacked illustrations, this facsimile is graced by scans of the covers of numerous pre-1930 American editions from the glorious collection of the eminent Carroll collector, Alan Tannenbaum.
