Condition
In the original publisher's cloth binding, in the original unclipped dust wrappers. Externally, smart. Very light bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Boards of 'Focus Two' are a little bowed. Dust wrapper for 'Focus One' is worn, lacking most of the backstrip, with chips to the head of the front wrap, a smaller chip to the tail of the front wrap and head of the rear wrap. 'Focus Two' dust wrapper is less edge worn, with only a few small chips. Light spots to the wraps. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto of the front endpaper of 'Focus One'. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and clean.
