I read the Christmas Carol every December, and have done for a few years now. After finishing this time, I sought this book out to uncover a couple of things that have puzzled me. It had some good trivia on some things, but you could have looked it all up online. And most of it was linking things from Dickens' life to episodes in the book, and mostly speculatively, with no documentation to back it up. Some of it was interesting, some not. I think the creators of The Man Who Invented Christmas may have made use of a lot of it.
But one thing I wanted to find was missing - when the second spirit takes him to his nephew's house, and he guesses along with the game, it says that Scrooge was sharp as "finest Whitechapel, guaranteed not to cut in the eye" (possibly mis-quoted; I don't have the book in front of me). So clearly it has something to do with needles. But the note talks about the neighborhood of Whitechapel, which is not the point.
Possibly of interest to DM, but I would get from the library, not worth keeping.
