Item description from seller

A two volume complete set of the works of John Bunyan in very good - or very good minus condition. No date, but high Victorian - circa 1870. Bound in original publisher's half brown morocco leather over cloth boards. 4to. in size so veritable tomes. Numerous full page steel engravings illustrate the texts. 5 raised bands to each spine with gilt embossed titles. The fore-edges beautifully marbled. The text blocks tight and the pages crisp and for the very most part - very clean. Some mottling to the cloth boards. Some rubbing to the leather joints. Some insect or worm damage to the lower front board joint (volume one) about 2.5cm in length and to the head of the rear board joint - volume one - about 4.5cm in length. Likewise volume 2 has worm / insect damage to the rear board joint about 5cm in length (with a little more noticeable loss from the exterior perspective) and about 1cm to the joint - tail of the front board. The boards remain firmly attached to both volumes and the leather will be dressed (fed) before sending these books out. Some spotting / toning to the endpapers, but the text block pages and the full page prints remain in very good condition indeed. Over all a very good set or very good minus if you wished to be a little harsh.…

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.…
