I have been collecting Alice in Wonderland items for nearly 30 years and I am happy to add this book to my collection. The information is presented in a format that is accessible to the general public and not just the Alice afficianado. The book production is also wery pleasing. The wonder of Alice is how she shows up all over the globe in so many ways 140 years after her conception. I think the title of the book understates to what extent Alice lives in our modern popular culture.

I love this book. I received it yesterday at my office and read what I could on my lunch hour. I couldn't wait to get home. I bought this because I wanted to eventually introduce my 1 year old granddaughter to "Alice In Wonderland." Imagine my surprise to find that I can start reading to her now. There are extended nursery rhymes, funny sayings and a fascinating dialogue through the whole book. The illustrations are superb! I can start my granddaughter on the "white rabbit, calico cat, the queen" as well as "Alice" just from these wonderful illustrations. I can highly recommend this book for children and also adults who enjoy Lewis Carroll's wit. I cannot write enough good things about it.

Kind of like a wikipedia for Alice. They have a few of these kinds of books, i think a wizard of oz one? It's a nice mini coffee table style book. It has pretty much every song, product, book, whatever, made in reference to Alice or her adventures. A good addition to the collection of an Alice lover, like me.

Some interesting, little known facts re: Alice books' history, sales at auctions, etc. Beautiful, well-illustrated book. Nice, light reading.

I love this book!! I wanted it for a long time, and was so pleased when I finally bought it. Lots of awesome art and writing. Great for any Alice fan!

This is a charming delightfully colorful book, with drawings of Alice and her Wonderland from different countries and publications, from cover to cover, literally; no pun intended. Text includes memorable and often hilarious quotes, notes on all AIW movies, interesting facts, letters from Carroll to his little friends and even recipes. The size and shape of the book is even fun and novel (again, no pun intended). Completely enjoyable for any Alice fan.

This is the ultimate gift for any Alice in Wonderland fan you know. I saw this book when I was in Disneyworld, but I did not buy it because I knew it would be cheaper on amazon.
I highly recommend this book. It really is anything and everything alice!
