Contents pages to 'The Trout' have been removed by a previous owner. In uniform full cloth bindings. Externally, smart with just some minor bumping to the head and tail of spines and to the extremities. Light rubbing to the spines, resulting in the red lettering to spines to fade slightly. Pasted to the recto of front endpaper of all volumes but 'Trout' is a small saying clipped from a newspaper regarding lending books. Blind stamp to the front endpapers for W H Smith and Son.

Occasional pencil annotation and underlining to all volumes by a previous owner. Scattered spotting throughout all volumes, slightly heavier to 'The Hare', 'The Partridge' and 'The Pheasant'. All volumes have slightly heavier spotting to the first and last few pages. Very Good Indeed. Seller Inventory # 603L9
