About This Item
This is a complete, uniform, set of the 25 volume Author's National Edition. However, all the volumes are not first editions from the 1899 publication by Harper and Brothers. Thirteen of volumes are from the 1899 first edition publication. The remaining twelve volumes span the years 1901 - 1909. Condition of each book varies from Good to Very Good+. Pages on all the volumes are clear, without marks and overall without foxing (with only a few exceptions which have some light foxing). Book spines are all in good to excellent condition. We could not find any tears on pages except for a tear on the second page of volume xx (the page with the author's lithographed signature). All have a varied amount of shelf wear at the top and bottom of the spines. Otherwise shelf wear is very slight. Some have slight age toning. All include photogravure front pieces of the author or an illustration related to the book, as well two other illustrations scattered throughout the book. All have Mark Twain's photogravure signature and inscription on the second fly-leaf page. All have red covers with faux leather beveling at spine and edges. All have the uniform size - 7.5 x 5.25" size.
