I downloaded the ebook. Then I realise that I don't like reading books this way. So I tried looking online for the book. So I endup reading the history of Charles Dickens. I am so shock that the Original or 1st edition of this book cost 20,000 US Dollar.. Wow which he sold for just 20 something/5 shillings at that time with minimal profit. How I will be so lucky to get the first edition.. I like old books. It would be a dream came true.. Books really make me like this.. Huhu.. I want to cry.. But then I found this website http://www.gutenberg.org. They made an ebook with the first edition illustrations.. So I am feeling ok now.. This is the original ebook http://www.gutenberg.org/files/46/46-h/46-h.htm and this is the pdf version I created http://www.scribd.com/doc/131502507/The-Project-Gutenberg-eBook-of-a-Christmas-Carol
So enjoy as I am now... This is from wikipedia: A Christmas Carol | |
