About This Item
A seven-volume set of the works of Balzac. Green fabric covered boards show some wear at the corners and edges. Titles in gilt on brown box glued to the spines, with some chipping. The pages are clean and unmarked. As is often the case in books of this era, splits have occurred where the glued portions meet the sewn. Six of these volumes have developed a split in the front, near the title pages, to varying degrees. The one that has not split in front (Volume V), is the only volume to have developed a mild split in the rear. Photo #3 shows a typical split of this nature. The photos also show all seven title pages. The volumes contain from one to six works each. This is a rare complete collection of the Century Company edition. This set will ship at about ten pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price. This set is not available for international shipping without special arrangements.
