Condition
In the original publisher's quarter cloth binding and paper wraps. Externally, sound. There is bumping to the heads and tails of the spines and to the extremities. This has resulted in some wear to these areas, particularly the spines. Some loss to the front board of Volume I, and to the whole of the front board of Volume X, with only the title remaining. there is an ink stain to the front board of Volume VIII. Internally, generally firmly bound. The maps are numbered and do not run consecutively, therefore there are some missing. The pages are bright and clean.
