Volume 2, with blue and black titles and decoration to the front and spine and publisher’s blurb and 4 kr price to the rear. 134 [2]pp with decorative initial letters, 22 black and white illustrations and a miniature book with illustrations tipped in on p97. 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.
