Condition:
Spines are a different colour to the boards (perhaps due to sunning?) with rubbing and scuffing. Small fragment of backstrip lacking from the head of volume one. All boards attached with rubbed or cracked joints, and hinges with minor wear or starting. Boards scuffed and rubbed, with some spots of discolouration on the leather. Shelf and edge wear. Very minor dulling to page edges. Endpapers and title pages prominently foxed/toned. Text blocks lightly toned to edges and with some sporadic very minor foxing throughout but generally fairly clean through the text blocks.
