    Condition

    In the publisher's original blue cloth binding. Externally, smart. Very lightly rubbed to the boards. The cloth is rubbed to the head and tail of the spine of the volume on Rome, and is beginning to fray a little at the head. The remaining volumes are lightly bumped to the head and tail of the spine. The front hinge is starting, but firm to The Legacy of Rome, and both hinges are starting to the volume on the Middle Ages. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages throughout.
