The Easton Press classics with occasional minor handling or shelf wear; one volume with slight separation from text block at head; overall near fine. The Reivers with some wear to page edges (mostly at lower edge), and a small area of damp staining in the lower margin of the leaves in the final quarter of the book; very good.
