Condition
In a half calf binding. Externally very smart, with minimal rubbing to the extremities and joints, though a little of the leather to the volume containing Essays and Lays is lifting to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for the odd spot to the first and last few pages.
Very Good
