A nice set with mostly mild wear to extremities, occasional light scuffing and browning to boards, and rare small mark/stain; interior with edge toning, occasional offsetting and grime, infrequent edgewear, and spotting concentrated on endpapers, title, and front tissue guard otherwise infrequent; one book with minor writing on endpaper, a couple with superficial wear at hinge, first volume with first gathering through dedicatory loose in binding; easily very good.
