Condition:
Overall the lot is in very good condition. All 10 volumes are tightly bound with no cracks and no loose pages. The primary condition issue is that the volumes are worn at the top and bottom edges of the spines, and that some spines have chips/tears/pieces missing along the left and right edges; also, some volumes have cloth tears at the corners. The volumes are in nice condition on the insides with only some occasional foxing and stains as would be expected; a few random small tears were found; no writing was found. All covers are firmly attached.
