All pages in all five books are exceptionally clean, all have maroon coloured edge to papers, all books are intact and have nice tight bindings. Please note these five books together are a heavy set of books and therefore postage overseas may increase from listed price postage /shipping price depending on final destination. Along with all the fascinating text information, there are a host of spectacular well drawn diagrams and illustrations within each of the five books, which are extremely useful to understand all the technical jargon. There is no published date on the books, however I have put 1925 as an estimated date from the research conducted myself. A truly wonderful collection of early 20th century motor vehicle books that would grace any stylish library or are perfect for any motor historian or enthusiast.
