Condition
Bound in half calf. Externally, very smart, with light rubbing to the extremities and boards, and the odd mark. A few spots to endpapers. Front hinge a touch strained, but holding firm to volume III of The Spy. Half title retained to volume II of The Prairie only. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with just the odd mark.
Very Good Indeed
