As all books are in a similar condition, these are described together, as follows. Boards and spines are in very good condition with no marks and only slight bumping to head and tail of spine (small white, perhaps chalk, mark to the lower portion of the spine on Persian Fire, and slight nick to the bottom of the spine on the In the Shadow of the Sword volume). Very light bumping to one or two corners, as pictured. Minimal handling marks to edges, as photographed, and slight foxing to Millennium, a little warping and some earmarks and dings to the Shadow volume, and a couple of small marks to the fore edge of Dominion. Internally all immaculate with no previous owners' inscriptions or marginalia. Pages are tightly bound and all maps are present. Complete examples.

All presenting excellently in near-fine, unclipped dust wrappers, with minimal creasing to extremities and clean, bright panels. The dust wrapper of Dominion has a couple of small nicks to front panel, as pictured. All dust wrappers have now been placed in removable, protective sleeves of archival quality.
