Item description from seller

Frontispiece, xxiii, 317 pp, 4 color plates; x, pp. [319]-652, color plates 5-15; with many unnumbered text illustrations. 4to. Original two-toned cloth. The two volumes are Near Fine. The original slipcase is present but it is worn along the edges and on the inside (see photos). I would call the slipcase Very Good (I have definitely seen worse!). The original clear wrappers are also present, but one has large tears while the other has small tears. I consider the clear wrappers in their present condition to be of little or no value so I have NOT included them in the photos. However I will send the clear wrappers with the volumes. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. The words "First Edition" are printed on the verso of the title page of all printings, but the later printings will be indicated as such. So the absence of a statement about printing means the set is the First Printing, as is the case here. "The interest of this book to plastic surgeons is threefold. It is a textbook of plastic surgery unique in its humanness; it covers to a large extent the development of plastic surgery during the twentieth century; . . . and it is an autobiography of the outstanding plastic surgeon of the century, whose influence has been felt throughout the world and will continue to be felt for years to come" (from Foreword by Jerome P. Webster, p. xii).
