First American Editions throughout. Three hardcovers in their original unclipped, priced dust jackets, all preserved in removable clear protective sleeves. Books generally very good or better: bindings firm and text blocks clean and tight, the latter two volumes particularly crisp and apparently little read. Some age-toning to page edges and occasional minor marks. Small former bookseller’s label to endpaper of Peace for Our Time and A Day’s March Nearer Home. A few small pencilled former inventory/price notations to endpapers. Dust jackets complete and unclipped. Peace for Our Time ($9.95) with general toning/soiling, rubbing and shelf wear, minor wear at spine ends and a short closed tear/crease at upper corner of front panel. Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat ($7.95) toned and lightly soiled, with rubbing, particularly to spine, and minor edge wear and creasing, without significant loss. A Day’s March Nearer Home ($9.95) the best of the three jackets, lightly toned/soiled with only very minor edge nicking. An attractive, matched complete set of the First American Editions, retaining all three original priced dust jackets.
