Condition

In the original publisher's cloth bindings. Externally, smart to very smart. Mostly very smart, with some minor bumping to the heads and tails of the spines and to the extremities, with some slight wear to the cloth in these areas as a result. The spines are faded to Volume I, II, III, and VII. To the 'Atlas', the binding is slightly worn and the spine is beginning to detach. Some volumes have prior owner's book plate to the front pastedown, and all have 'Layton Library' stamps to the first free endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean with the occasional spot.

Very Good
