Three wonderful books, each book is a bright red cloth bound hard-back, with gorgeous gilt titles on the spine. Each book comes with its own, not price clipped, dust jacket. Some wear to jackets around the edges. As these books are used, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. The three books are the revised, second edition, published 1970, fifth impression, printed in Great Britain in 11 on 12 point Imprint type by Jarrold & Sons Ltd, Norwich. Published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd. The three books are in really good condition, all pages intact and nice tight bindings. Previous owners name signed on first blank page in pen and ink.
