Externally smart with rubbing to the extremities and the head of the spine resulting in some slight loss to the leather at the head and tail of the spines. Joints starting but firm. A few light marks to the boards. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just some marginal age-toning and the odd spot. Ink inscription for 'Marie Anne Whittaker' to title page on each volume. Very Good.
