Lot is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.

Bindings gently age worn, some surface rubbing to cloth, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, lot remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still clean, tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive.
