Condition

In the original red cloth binding. Externally, smart with light shelf wear and bumping to the extremities. The odd mark to the board. Original unclipped dust wrappers also smart. Light shelf wear and chipping to the extremities, particularly the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Letters from author and newsletter loosely inserted to a few volumes.

Very Good
