About This Item
Although it says in the title that the series is twelve volumes, there is also an index, giving a total of thirteen volumes. The covers are deep red fabric covered boards with leather over the spine. The wear is almost all in that leather area where there has been damage at the top, and/or bottom of some of the spines (some can be seen in the photos). Otherwise, there is little damage. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with no yellowing. The top edges of the pages are gilted as are the print and decorations on the spines. Each book has a color frontspiece and other scattered illustrations as well. The original owner inserted various clippings and pictures into the books, which I have chosen to leave for their historical value. A few of them are shown in the final four photos. This set will ship at over 24 pounds and may be shipped in two boxes. It will be shipped with insurance and will require a signature. Escess shipping costs are included in the list price.
Reviews
Its is Shakespeare in all its glory and such a beautiful volume. My fingers itch to reread Hamlet, Macbeth and every sonnet he ever wrote!
