Item description from seller

Folio Society Collection - Lot of 4 Books. Overall Condition: Fine / Near Fine (All with Slipcases) Combined Weight: 5.21 kg. Item Description: A beautiful, highly collectible lot of four classic non-fiction and historical volumes published by the prestigious Folio Society. All four books are in exceptionally neat, well-preserved condition, complete with their original slipcases. Please see the attached photos to verify the excellent condition of this set. Individual Book Condition Reports & Synopses: Book (1): Between Silk and Cyanide: The Story of SOE's Cold War. Author: Leo Marks. Published: 2013 (Features an introduction by Simon Mawer) Condition: Fine (Book & Slipcase) Details: Hardcover. Slipcase is in fine condition. Book boards and book block are perfectly clean and unmarked on all sides. Spine is completely intact; text body is clean and unmarked throughout. An excellent, pristine copy. Synopsis: The title stems from a poignant moment when Marks explained why British agents in occupied Europe needed cryptographic codes printed on silk rather than rustling paper: it was a choice "between silk and cyanide"—surviving via reliable, easily concealed radio transmissions or being forced to take a suicide pill to avoid breaking under enemy torture. Book (2). Enigma: The Battle for the Code. Author: Hugh Sebag-Montefiore. Published: 2007 (3rd Printing) Condition: Fine (Book) / Near Fine (Slipcase) Details: Hardcover with an elegant clothbound design referencing Alan Turing's machine, silver endpapers, and an intact spine. Book boards and block are clean and unmarked on all sides. Text body is pristine throughout. Synopsis: A beautifully bound volume detailing the gripping, high-stakes race to shatter the German Enigma code during World War II, showcasing the brilliant minds and machines that changed the course of history. Book (3). In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and its Consequences Author: Truman Capote. Published: 2011Condition: Fine (Book) / Near Fine (Slipcase) Details: Hardcover printed on premium Abbey Wove paper by L.E.G.O. SpA in Vicenza, Italy. Book boards, spine, and all sides of the book block are completely clean and unmarked. Text body is immaculate. Synopsis: The definitive true crime classic crafted to the highest aesthetic standards. This edition features premium structural binding and contains rare, historic courtroom photographs from the case. Book (4) The Blind Watchmaker Author: Richard Dawkins Published: 2007Condition: Fine (Book) / Near Fine (Slipcase) Details: Hardcover. Slipcase is in near-fine condition. Book boards, spine, and block edges are completely clean and unmarked. Text body is crisp and free from any notations.

Shipping Terms & International Delivery: Please note that the combined package weight for this 4-book lot is 5.21 kg.
