About this Item

A handsome and complete matched set of 15 Classics Club hardcover volumes, published in the early 1940s by Walter J. Black, Inc., Roslyn, New York. Titles include works by Plato, Homer, Marcus Aurelius, Walt Whitman, Michel de Montaigne, Daniel Defoe, Lucretius, John Milton, and others. All volumes retain their original beige linen cloth bindings with maroon and gilt spine labels. The books are structurally excellent, with tight bindings and exceptionally clean, near-pristine interior pages. The only noted flaw is light, uniform age-related discoloration to the cloth covers, typical for linen bindings of this period and entirely cosmetic. An attractive, cohesive Classics Club set with strong shelf presence--ideal for collectors, scholars, or decorative library use. Scarce as a complete, visually consistent group in this condition.
