Notes on Carroll's Complete Works

Some copies of Carroll's Complete Works (including the first printing) carry a claim on the verso of the title page that the book uses Kent endpapers. No Giant ever had Kent endpapers; the plates that printed the Kent endpapers were too small for the Giants format. The statement about Kent endpapers was boilerplate that appeared on all ML volumes at this period, whether they had Kent endpapers or not. Eventually someone noticed the error and the boilerplate was changed.
