Limited Edition, #10 of 150 Large Paper copies. Scarce, not to be confused with the much more common (and also nice) 8vo. set.

Publisher's cloth bindings, gilt title lettering, deckled edges, cloth dust jackets.

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

Bindings gently age worn, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, set remains overall attractive as an object.

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

Still attractive on the shelf. The set 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. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this set survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
