Condition

Very good, likely unread, books, the bindings square and firm, the contents clean and uninscribed throughout, with only a little light creasing to some of the volumes' spine tips and some small, innocuous wear to covers in places. Housed in very good slipcases that are lightly rubbed to extremities and a little marked and shelf-worn, but structurally sound and clean.
