A six volume set of Shakespeares work including his plays and poems. No date - though a neat ink name inscription to the reverse of the front end papers is dated 1886. The preface is dated April, 1860, but this may well be a reprint edition. Original blue cloth casing with gilt embossed lettering to the spine and vignette to the front board. Decorative black embossed design to the front board surrounding silver embossed embelms. Upper edges gilt. Numerous full page steel engravings, including frontispiece plates, illustrate the various plays, many still with their original tissue guard. A fair or just possibly good only set in more than acceptable reading condition. Slight sunning to the spines with light rubbing to the spine strip edges with evidence of previous slight splitting to the rear edge of the spine strip of volume III, now repaired. A little splitting to the spine edges at the head and tail of the spines. There is rubbing to the head and tail of the spines with some associated fraying and loss of the outer cloth. There is loss of 0.5 cm to the head of the spine of Volume V. A nik to the front edge of the front board of volume III. Light foxing to the title page of volume II and light foxing to the tissue guards of volumes I, III and IV. There is a small hole to the tissue guard over the frontispiece plate of volume IV. Despite these faults, the volumes remain tightly bound and the pages are clean and well preserved. A good copy of this six volume set.…

Store description
Trumpington Fine Books Limited has been in business for a number of years. We specialize in all books of distinction whether they be modern collectable first editions, monographs or books of reference, fine bindings or antiquarian. Or just simple affordable books, which we believe are of merit. We focus on describing our books thoroughly and aim to make each customer satisfied with their purchase. 'What it says on the tin'....is what should be in the tin. We also take great care in the packaging of our books - we virtually never have a complaint about books being damaged in transit and we aim to uphold this - despite the fact that it is considerably more expensive on time and materials (and thus money) to pack books well. We try and make our books as affordable as possible and we recognize that times are hard. We have many repeat customers and we are delighted to have them as they only confirm the above. On the rare occasion that things do go wrong, we will try very hard to rectify any problems. We are able to bulk purchase through Royal Mail and aim to make no money out of postage - in point of fact, after taking into account the cost of packaging materials, we take a loss on postage - all our discounts are passed on to the customer. In our business we will endeavour to always uphold the customer. So in short, buy with confidence! Testimonial from Jose in Spain who recently bought some books from us : THE BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED IN PERFECT ORDER AND WITH THE EXPECTED QUALITY. YOU PACK FOR WAR! THANK YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO DEALING WITH YOU AGAIN SOON. BEST WISHES JOSE and we look forward to his next point of contact with us.…
