The edition that was dated 1866, with MacMillan named as the publisher, was actually printed in November of 1865. It is the second edition, but it was the first edition commercially distributed by MacMillan. The printing of the first edition was deemed to be flawed and not acceptable to John Tenniel or, then, to Lewis Carroll. The fore-edges of this edition are gilt.
