About this Item

I have had several copies of this set over the years and this is one of the better sets I have seen. No date but circa 1884. Abundantly illustrated with engravings. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering and illustration on front cover and spine. Gilt on front cover is very good with spot missing in places. The gilt on the cover has heavy loss and the spine is fade. Light wear to edges and corners. Quality paper since there is little aging to it considering age. Some corner are slight bumped.

Pages run from 1 to 588 Vol II: Great Expectations, Little Dorrit, Martin Chuzzlewit; discoloration to lower part of back cover with line running to the top. Binding is tight and pages are clean. Pages run from 589 to 1183 Vol III: Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities, Dombey and Son; bind is solid; however there is the beginnings of looseness starting at the inside cover and ffep at the gutter and at the back last page.

Store Description

I am an online seller only. I attempt to offer the best price for an item, considering rarity, costs, condition, and other factors. For USA buyers, I figure media shipping into the price. However, I do not have a bulk mailing license (at least yet) like many big online sellers do. I mail USPS media rate unless you request priority--with an added mailing costs. Unfortunately, the USPS media shipping costs have gone up multiple times in the last couple of years. In some cases, it cost more to ship the book media rate than the actual cost of the book itself. You may ask why buy from someone who does not use bulk shipping rates? CARE IN CATALOGUING BOOKS In short, because you get a better quality service. Many bulk sellers may sell the book cheaper (especially if they can bulk ship it) but most do not take the time to list book conditions carefully or add photos. So you are often buying a book without a good idea of what its condition is. They often say things like "may contain markings and other defects or be a library discard." We take care in listing and take a look inside and outside the book, noting any defects in the description. If it is a hardback we note conditions of the dust jacket, and in some cases fix deteriorating dust jackets. We also repair books if needed; if not, we describe the repair needed. If there is not a stock photo of the book or our book differs from the stock photo, we provide a photo of the book. In some case, we provide multiple photos. We often provide copies of tables of contents or book reviews (about the book notes). CARE IN MAILING Many bulk seller, take little effort in mailing your book. Some put them in a thin plastic mailing bag that may arrive with tears in the bag. We take care in shipping, and we wrap all books (except small brochure and paper) in butcher paper and a tight layer of mailing tape on top so the book has little chance of arriving damaged. Pricier and more delicate older books are mailed in cartons and also wrapped in butcher paper. The books are mailed individually and not in bulk rate, which in itself helps preclude damage in shipping. IN SHORT--BETTER SERVICE FOR A LITTLE MORE IN COST As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for. We would like to work with you and gain your trust. We accept returns and will answer any inquires by email, mail, or phone (text or voice). Thank you for reading this. Frank (sunalso)
