In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally excellent with only a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities and a faint darkening to the spine. With a minor faint handling mark to the rear board of part one of Jane Eyre, and to the front board of part two. Internally, the frontispiece to part one of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is slightly loose but firm, while that of Charlotte Bronte's biography is loose but present in the volume. Otherwise, internally firmly bound. The pages are very bright and clean. Illustrated with a frontispiece for each novel.
