Vellum grubby, marked and stained; boards warped and bowed, typical of vellum bindings; shelfwear and bumping. Pages dusty, some occasional foxing; edges of page block dusty and spotted; pages roughly cut, some untidily with tears into the fore-edge margin; gilt to top edge dulled and dusty. LACKING one map - appears never to have been bound in - a photocopy replacement loosely inserted.
Overall, showing wear but otherwise a good solid set in the less common vellum binding.
