Copious black-and-white Illustrations throughout both volumes, filled with fascinating facts and historical references. A lovely set. The original maroon cloth is in excellent shape, with decorative blind-stamping on the upper boards and Knopf's Borzoi logo on the lower; gilt on the spines is bright. The interiors are pristine---fresh, bright, and completely clean; maroon top-edges match the covers. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] Dust jackets with printed spines show a bit of wear; the sturdy slipcase is still here but rubbed, soiled and sunned, with edge-marks from earlier tape, now removed. "Still beating hearts of dead creatures, bacilli in the bodies of bacilli, suckling males---this is the biology of 1943. § And therefore it is not only as interesting and exciting as the best news reel, but is also full of wisdom of a very practical kind: the modern wisdom of life which enables one acquainted with it to shape [it] according to the precepts of modern science, to increase abilities, to maintain health, to overcome disease, and to live longer and more actively than one's ancestors while participating in the joys and progress of our age."---from the preface. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking. (These two heavy books and slipcase will require extra postage.).
