Covers have rubbing and wear to the decorative boards. Age toning to the pages. Pages are not brittle but they need to be handled with caution - they are printed on a paper closer to newsprint than other books of this style. Corner tips and spine ends have wear and the boards are exposed in places. A few pages have creased corners. Volume X/XI has a loose page that is laid into place (page 15-16) and this page has a tear in the edge along with some chips on the edges. Page 245-6 of volume VII has a short tear in the gutter with a long crease across the page. Pages 135-7 of Vol. XIV have short tears with creasing. Otherwise, tight binding. Please view all photographs and consider them as part of the description. Will ship via UPS Ground. less
