• The text is clean throughout and the bindings seem to be holding together nicely.

• 3/4 Leather binding; raised bands on the spines.

• Volume Two has 538 pages.

• These volumes were “withdrawn” from a library, and they have the stamping that shows it; however the library stampings are not huge and ugly; fainted stamping along page edges is not bad at all.

• These are very heavy books and will most certainly cost us more to insure and mail than our website charges. NO FOREIGN ORDER ON THIS SET PLEASE.
