Once Upon a Time in the City of New York

 

The book of Great Expectations that is used in the Pilot is a real old book, not a prop, as you can see below. Curious to see how it looks?

Author: CHARLES DICKENS
Print Date: 1939 First Thus Edition (*)
Publisher: THE HERITAGE PRESS, NEW YORK
457 pages
