Condition

In the original cloth bindings. With the original dust wrappers, 'Wild Foods' and 'Our Daily Food' being price-clipped. Externally, very smart, with fading to the spine head and tail of 'What to Grow', otherwise only mild rubbing and bumping across the remaining volumes. Dust wrappers to 'What to Grow' and 'Cook's Tour' are most notably chipped, with tape to 'What to Grow'. Tape also reinforced to large closed tear of 'Our Daily Food'. Sunning and handling marks of varying degrees across the set. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with spotting to the endpapers of 'Wild Foods' and the odd spot to 'Cook's Tour'. Ownership bookplate tipped-in to the front free endpapers.

Overall: Very Good Indeed
