Mostly light scuffing and rubbing to boards; occasional light hinge cracking; interiors with light toning and foxing, evidence of minor damp staining, and occasional minor mark/grime; some maps with expected light wear. A very good set. Note: All books in the estate are sold as is; condition changes are possible due to the lack of a temperature-controlled environment.

*Buyers take note, pick up will be required and is only available offsite at the residence in Hillsborough, North Carolina on March 22, March 24, March 25, and March 28 between 10am-3pm ET. See terms for more details.
