In the original red cloth binding. Externally, smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Minor loss to the tail of the spine of The Quiet Woman. Original dust wrappers are unclipped other than Young Man, I Think You're Dying which is price-clipped. Wrappers are sound with shelf wear and minor chipping to the extremities. Small closed tears to the edges of the panels and light sunning to the spines. The odd small mark. Loss to the spine of The Quiet Woman. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot or handling mark. Very Good.…
