I can recommend this book and this edition, which I read again only recently. I enjoyed it immensely - and many thanks pdurrant for a very well produced ebook.
BookCat, the following may not be exactly what you had in mind, but a couple of years ago I read a few of Charles Dickens' non-fictions works and found them fascinating. (I got my copy of these off Project Gutenberg, not sure if there might be cleaner editions here on MR.)
American Notes - A sort of diary of Charles Dickens' tour of America in 1842 - almost twenty years before the civil war. This includes the journey to New York, much time in Boston, and then a journey inland as far as the Mississippi and back again. A short journey to Canada and then home again.
The Uncommercial Traveller - A collection of essays by Charles Dickens written between 1860 and 1869. The articles span a wide range of topics and styles: from investigation of significant events (the wreck of the Royal Charter), to some fairly light reference to the town where he grew up (referred to as Dullborough). From investigation into alm's houses, a children's hospital, a white-lead factory and more, to (less than flattering) comments about a teetotal procession.
