Condition
In the publisher's quarter cloth binding, with illustrated boards. Externally, 'Ace High' is very smart, with only mild rubbing and bumping to the extremities. 'Air Stories' is more worn, with a couple cracks to the front board and marks to the spine and boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are age toned, but generally clean, with the occasional spots largely concentrated to the first and last few leaves and to the borders of plates. With contemporary gift inscriptions to both front free endpapers. Contemporary Christmas sticker to front free endpaper of 'Ace High'.
Very Good
