You have a few options when it comes to Lewis Carrol and some are more complete than others.
If you are going to read one of the Alice books then I recomend you get both, and indeed they are often sold that way. Also you may want to find one with the original illustrations. Even if you don't purchase that copy then you should at least see what you are missing.
My prefered copy is now out of print but should be easily found ISBN 0787119784
It omits the original illustrations but does include photos from the NBC movie.

"Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (January 27, 1832 - January 14, 1898), better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was a British author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.
His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the comic poem The Hunting of the Snark, and the nonsense poem Jabberwocky.
His facility at word play, logic, and fantasy has delighted audiences ranging from the most naive to the most sophisticated. His works have remained popular since they were published and have influenced not only children's literature, but also a number of major 20th century writers such as James Joyce and Jorge Luis Borges." --cited from wikipedia.org (not guaranteed correct)
