Both books are in near fine condition clean and bright and without name, inscription or bookplate. There is just a hint of toning to the spine which is slightly pushed at the foot in Volume 1 and a tiny 2mm dot on the front of Volume 2 which has just a hint of shelfwear along the bottom edge. All in all excellent copies of these unusual books published to coincide with a Swedish radio series intended to help people learn English.
