    Condition

    In original publisher's cloth bindings. Externally, smart. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities. Slight age toning to cloth, more so to spines, particularly "Norwich". The odd minor handling mark to boards. slight soiling to cloth. The odd hinge strained, but firm. Internally, generally firmly bound, aside from pages 13-16 in "Oxford", which are fully disbound. Pages bright and clean, if slightly age toned. The odd spot, heavier to first and last few leaves and fore edge.

    Very Good
