Wrappers are also smart with light wear and chipping to the extremities. Light fading to the spines with the odd small mark. Small closed tears to the panel edges of the odd volume. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Minor age toning to the endpapers. Very Good Indeed.…
