Dealer Notes
Both volumes are in very good condition. The modern half red morocco is very attractive and is finished with gilt tooling to the spines which have six compartments. Both volumes also have new endpapers. Internally, the text blocks are clean and bright and the colour plates vibrant. A very nice set.
