The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

I don't say this about many books, but it's a shame that this masterpiece is among the lesser-known of Charles Dickens' novels. Besides A Tale of Two Cities the only historical fiction Dickens wrote, Barnaby Rudge is set during the (equally little-known) Gordon Riots of 1780, when tension between English Protestants and Catholics erupted into actual violence.
