7.87" x 5", approximately 500+ pages per volume, all edges brilliantly gilt. All volumes are tight, clean and well preserved. Between the pages of these attractively bound covers is the collected wisdom, word art, and philosophy of mankind. Consuming the entire set should certainly qualify the reader for a Doctor of Letters.

Deep red leather with gilt rule, titling on the spine and logos on both covers and inside dentelles. Red silk bookmarks still tucked neatly in. Seller Inventory # 3409
