Undated, possibly published in the 1950s. There is no mention of an editor or publisher, and there is also no title page. Based on the spine, it appears to be volume I. The boards are quite shelf rubbed and edge worn. The corners are knocked inwards, and the label on the spine is peeling at the corners. Despite this, the boards remain strong and square. Internally, there are no markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. The edges of the front and back pastedowns are lightly tanned. Tightly bound. JK View more info

Condition: Fine
320 pages (complete). A sturdy, handsome copy. The book is housed in a laminated board slipcase. This has some light sunning, wear and even lighter handling marks. It is sound. The laminated boards are smart. The corners and edges have some very shallow knocks. Otherwise, the boards shine with health. The contents are most gratifying - even if a touch patrician. They are very tight and assured, very clean and clear, benevolent and generous - as if new throughout! fk View more info
