Which publisher issued Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865?

Macmillan issued Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1865.

Lewis Carroll’s book was published in Britain by the London firm Macmillan. Carroll had met Alexander Macmillan in 1863, and the publisher agreed to bring the expanded Alice story into print. Carroll closely supervised the project, including its design, printing, and illustrations by John Tenniel.

About 2,000 copies were printed in July 1865, but Tenniel objected to the quality of the printing. Carroll therefore asked Macmillan to halt the release and arrange a new printing by Richard Clay. The replacement edition was published in November 1865, with a red binding chosen to appeal to young readers.

A December edition carried the date 1866 because it was prepared for the Christmas market. This creates a common bibliographic confusion: the book is generally identified as a 1865 publication, even though some early copies bear an 1866 date. Copies of the withdrawn first printing were later sold in the United States to D. Appleton & Company.
