In 1998 a rare first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was sold at auction. It went for $1.5 million US. That particular edition was Lewis Carroll's own copy, and contained annotations by Carroll and ten original illustrations by John Tenniel.
Only twenty-two copies of the original 1865 edition are known to still exist - seventeen are in libraries, and five belong to private owners.
It is impossible to attach a value to them, as their worth is unknown until somebody actually sells one. They are, literally priceless.

The value of a first edition of Alice in Wonderland can vary based on factors such as its condition, printing date, and whether it includes all the original illustrations. In general, prices can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. It's recommended to consult with a rare book expert or appraiser for an accurate assessment.

∙ 14y agoit depends on what year it was written. If its an original from the 1800s, one of them sold for about 1 million dollars. If it was written anywhere in the 2000s, or is a rewrite, id say anywhere from 2 to 20 dollars.

∙ 14y agoAs Alice's Adventures in Wonderland wasn't published until 1865, I would suspect that a copy published in 1835 would be very valuable indeed.
The best thing to do would be to take it to a used or antiquarian bookstore and ask them for advice.

The value of books varies enormously according to different factors, including who published it, whether it's illustrated, who illustrated it and the book's condition.
Prices also fluctuate so that ultimately, any given book is worth neither more nor less than what someone is willing to pay for it.
The best way to value your book is to take it to an antiquarian book dealer (or better yet TWO antiquarian book dealers) and ask them.
The other way you might value your book is to try to find an equivalent (same date, same publisher, same condition) on the internet. Bookfinder.com, Amazon.com and Ebay are probably the best places to start.
