Volumes 6 and 20 are a little bumped to the head of the spines, and there is a tiny loss of cloth to the former. Volumes 8, 14, 17, 20 and 23 are lightly bumped at the tail of the spine, with a tiny loss of cloth to volume 17, and a small closed tear at the tail of volume 23.

The cloth has split at the joint of volume 30, which is rubbed to the front board. Internally, firmly bound. Very lightly foxed to the endpapers, but pages are otherwise bright and clean throughout.
