About This Item
Oxford University Press, 1934. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. A handsome copy of the 1934 1st edition, complete in 2 volumes, with both volumes boasting their original cream-colored dustjackets. The books are tight and VG to VG+ in their royal blue cloth, with light spotting along several of the panels. Internally, clean as could be, with no writing or markings to speak of. And in crisp, price-clipped, VG dustjackets, with light, forgivable chipping along spine ends, panel edges and tips. Mild offsetting as well to the top-edges and darkening at the spines. Still though, very presentable and substantial, and uncommon in sharp examples of the fragile dustjackets.
