Several options for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The first appearance of this book in print (2,000 copies) in 1865 was short-lived as illustrator John Tenniel disliked the print quality. Those '1865s' are like hen's teeth and have seven-figure price tags. The next edition (4,000 copies) was released in December of 1865 but dated 1866. They are also expensive and scarce.
Current demand on AbeBooks is all about Salvador Dali's illustrated limited edition (just 2,500 copies) from 1969 and no (sane) parent would give their child this version of Carroll's famous tale. Published in 1969 by Maecenas Press/Random House, the book was issued with 12 loose color illustrations by Dali. If Dali's surreal artwork isn't your cup of Mad Hatter's tea, Alice Liddell (later Hargreaves, the real Alice that inspired Carroll) signed 500 copies in 1932 for the Limited Editions Club and a handful are still available for anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000.
Most expensive copy to sell on AbeBooks - a Dali copy signed by the artist sold for $20,000 in 2014.
Affordable alternative - Princeton University Press republished Dali's Alice in 2015 and used copies start at around $10. The book include a contribution from Carroll expert Mark Burstein, who examines what was going through Dali's mind when he did these illustrations.
