The volumes have the binding square and firm, the closed text blocks clean, and the pages uninscribed and bright, with several of the volumes being very tight, and so unlikely to have ever been read. The seven volumes are housed in a matching slipcase which is a little worn and bumped, with the paper to rear ever-so-slightly peeling away, but structurally sound and without tears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sancho's Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53474193768787,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5403\/5283\/files\/The-Works-JANE-AUSTEN-Folio-Society-1996-Limited-Special-Blue-Leather-Edition_2.webp?v=1776103219","url":"https:\/\/sanchosrarebooks.co.uk\/products\/the-complete-works-limited-edition-jane-austen-folio-society-special-blue-leather-1996","provider":"Sancho's Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
