- Very nicely preserved; from a non-smoking environment; faint old book odor / no mildew odor.

- I find no marked, missing, or abused text pages. Some incidental dog-ears, and a dark stain on front endpapers that also bleeds to the inner title page

- Spine and boards showing very minimal wear. Front board detached, as pictured, and clasps still present but with age-shrunken leather they no longer close.
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique books always show their age. (Don\'t we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this book (or set) that\'s not perfect.
