About This Item
Methuen and Co Ltd, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Third UK edition. Two volumes, complete. Hardcovers with jackets. Jackets are edgeworn, with chipping. This includes a rather large portion missing from the top of the spine of volume 2, and a strip missing between the spine and rear panel of volume 1. Volume 1's jacket also has some water staining to the lower edge of the rear panel. Yellowing and dust soil to both. Both jackets are inside protective covers. The boards show some signs of wear, mainly to edges, light rubbing to surface cloth. Volume 2's spine head is faded where that piece of jacket is missing. Gilt stamping is dulled. Endpapers of both volumes are lightly discolored from contact with jackets. Pages are clean and bright on both volumes. Bindings are sound. This listing is for a set, and may require additional postage to ship.
