condition
Some minor rubbing to gilt on spines with very slight variation in colour to a couple of spines, minor wear at top & bottom of spines, corners bumped, minor marks to boards, some occasional light foxing or minor mark or crease to pages, some uneveness to occasional pages at fore-edges.
Overall the books are very good with all boards well attached.
