Beschreibung

Ex-lending library copy. Three volumes. Each volume is bound in plain cloth with the volume number, title, author's name and a library reference number to the spine. Decorative endpapers that were probably added when the book was bound for the lending library. The boards have some surface staining and rubbing and fraying to the corners. There are no other library markings on the books. Each volume has brown tape down the endpapers over the hinges at the front and back. The bindings are fairly slack in places in each book with more specific problems noted below. The top edges of the pages are browned and the pages in each volume are generally unmarked although in each case there are patches of staining and spotting throughout with other specific faults as noted below. For Volume I the whole book has become split into three sections with pages 141 to 188 a separate section along with that part of the spine. The spine of Volume II is cracked but intact and there is some staining along the inner edges of the pages through the second half of the book. Volume III has a half inch piece missing from the surface of the spine at the top and two inches missing from the surface at the bottom with cracking down either side of the spine. Pages 17, 47 and 225 are loose with some chipping and creasing to the edges where they have been protruding from the other pages. Pages 161 and pages 235 to 240 are loosening along half the length but still attached and the binding feels particularly slack in this volume. First printing. Three volumes together so there will be an additional postage charge for overseas orders. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 015707
