New York: Macmillan, 1927. First Edition. Trade issue. Five 12mo volumes. Uniform dark green cloth gilt (but one, see note below) in matching dustwrappers. Bit of dusting to text block edges, bottom edge of v.1 ("Children of the Night") spotted, still a uniformly tight, clean, Very Good or better set. In the original dustwrappers, variously worn, with small chips to spine ends and some age-toning to extremities, one flap neatly separated at fold; about Very Good. The set was issued in a slipcase, missing here.

Volume 1 apparently from a different issue (not identified by Hogan), as it is bound in full blue cloth with titles in black, otherwise uniform with the remaining volumes.
