Pair is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Pair is not new or in "new" condition but is quite nice.

Bindings gently age worn, leather lightly rubbed but still supple, each book remains overall attractive as an object.

Text block paper is gently toned, internally still clean, well preserved, tight, sound.
