Externally with wear to the extremities and head and tail of the spines. The spine labels are heavily age toned, and worn sufficiently to be only partly legible. With a personal bookplate to the front pastedowns, which has offfset in both cases. The hinges for both volumes are weak. Internally both volumes are a little cockled, but are remarkably clean and bright for their age. The binding is loosening in places. Good.…
