About this Item

Ex-libris with library stamps, barcode, and stickers on pastedowns, but original blue binding. Title page has a library hole punch. The two volume complete set includes the slipcase, which shows wear and has rubbing. Spine of slipcase is stained and slightly discolored. Binding on both volumes shows wear, and spines are faded. Pages have light tanning and foxing. There is writing in pencil on the contents and title pages. Text is otherwise clean and legible. Volume II has several plates that are beginning to separate from spine at various points. Plate XXVI is fully separated from spine.
The set features some plates that are printed in color. Because it is oversized, the shipping price may need to be adjusted.
