Description:
|
Book is Near Fine in no dust jacket. Decorative boards binding,
Edito-Service S.A. (Heron Books), Geneva, 1974. Excellent clean tight 14-volume almost-set of 20th century literature. We think this is almost the complete set, but is definitely missing 'Catch 22' by Joseph Heller. We ran out of room for the last title, the Edmund Blunden is "Undertones of War". All the gilt patterns match on the brown skivertex bindings, all dated 1974. Yellow place marker ribbons, and frontis portraits in each book, as well as drawings throughout some of the volumes. Gone with the Wind and Sinister Street are two volume sets. The gilt on Lucky Jim is a bit faded on the spine, the rest are all uniformly bright. Anne frank has a pull at the spine base, with tearing of the faux leather, not too noticable. There are one or two other very small nicks and bumps, the overall appearance is excellent, unread looking, with really clean pages and page edges, not yellowed at all. Each volume has a paper private bookplate, pasted onto the coloured endpaper. This has caused a bit of wrinkling, but doesn't detract too much. Our price INCLUDES economy air shipping (21 days) to anywhere on the globe, and that is worth a good few bucks saving to you, as the book set weighs 15 lbs.
