Boards with some light scuffing and soiling, occasional spotting, sunning, or discoloration to leather, and some wear to extremities (mostly to corners); one novel with a small area of wear at rear hinge; overall mild toning and infrequent foxing and grime to text block, with pages generally extremely clean (a couple with slightly heavier age and handling wear); wear to ribbons. A very good, sturdy, and handsome group of novels.
