Dealer Notes
An extraordinary survival. Sets are uncommon but this one is as near fine as can reasonably be expected given that it was published over the course of thirteen years and in bindings and jackets that will show any mark. John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
