Clark Company, 10 volumes complete I to X, 1965-1972, approx. 400 pp., 8vo. First editions. Condition: Good. Bookplate in each volume except II reading, "Ex Libris R. R. Delareuelle". The books are firm with sharp corners; there is cosmetic soiling/staining to some top edges. Volume I is slightly cocked. Volumes III, VII, VIII and IX are all more visibly cocked due to one warped board, the front board in each case except VII. (See photos.) The fold-out map in volume I is in fine condition.
