The top edges are gilded. Marbled end papers. Printed on thick quality paper with wide margins. Well laid out. Illustrated plates. These are large books measuring 10 inches tall. 18 inches of shelf space. EX LIBRARY WITH SPINE MARKINGS. GOOD condition, but for the shelf abrasion, as shown. The hinges are all strongly attached, although some sections are abraded through, making these only Good condition externally. Printed on quality paper that is fresh, bright, and clean. The dedicatory page was removed, as well as the previous owner's name clipped from the inscription page, making the recipient of this association gift unknown. This set is ex library Benedictine Heights College stamp 22538, and spine markings in white out, which can be scraped off for display purposes (but would then have additional abrasion.)
