From a longtime North Carolina collector

A very good set with one volume still in original shrink wrap; boards with occasional small mark, area of grime, scuffs, and light rubbing to gilt; many with Easton Press bookplates (used and unused), edges with light marks/scratches and occasional small stain, several bookmarks stained; interiors with occasional small stain, mark, or finger grime; one frontispiece guard creased and one rear free endpaper creased, folded, with small tears; most interiors pristine.
