A little variation in the shade of green cloth, as volumes were published over nearly half a century, but a handsome and very attractive set.***This monumental work was first published between 1887 and 1898 in 8 vols, compiled by 'G.E.C.' (George Edward Cokayne) who was Clarenceux King of Arms. The second, greatly enlarged edition was edited by Vicary Gibbs, GEC's nephew. Over the 49 years it took to publish the work he was succeeded as editor by H A Doubleday, Duncan Warrand, Lord Howard De Walden and Geoffrey H White. Vol XIV was edited by Peter W Hammond. The total number of pages in the 15 vols is 12,166, amounting to around 7,000,000 words.
