Bright, clean, square, and tight. Sharp corners. Inner hinges are perfect. Uniformly bound in the original attractive marbled boards with green cloth spines stamped in shiny gold. Spines are still a pleasing green -- only very slightly sun-faded (see photo) -- much less than usual for this set which is often seen with spines sunned to an ugly brown.

There are faint shadows at the corners of the front free endpapers from tape adhesive offset (minor -- see photo). Otherwise all pages are fresh, crisp and unmarked -- uncut and unopened, apparently never read. NO foxing. NO owner's name or bookplate. Each volume measures 6.75" wide by 10.25" tall. This is number 457 of 750 standard sets (another 50 having been being printed on Van Gelder paper).
