Condition: The set is in overall Near Fine condition. The volumes still open crisply as if they've never been read. The only notable condition flaw is that some of the volumes have a bit of chipping at the top and/or bottom edges of the spines. Clean covers and spines (with the exception of the Solzhenitsyn volume, which has tiny white specks on the front cover). Sharp cover corners. Mild foxing to the top edges of the text blocks. A very nice set with as-new pages.
