7 volumes in various states of condition….. Overall, the books pages are clean, unmarked, with only a faint hint of tone in a couple. The bindings are good on all. The text block gilding is good on all. The main condition issue on 6 of the books are the spine covers. It’s very common problems on these books….split hinges, missing spine cover pieces, corner bumps/scrapes. Overall, the front and rear boards have held up well and the books are still very attractive.
