Overall quite nice condition for age. Bindings are firm, with expected rubbing of leather edges and corners.

Gilt on spines remains bright and legible. Top textblock edge gilt has faded and has some light wear. Cloth boards show light wear - one cover has tear and another a light stain see photos. Interiors are clean with age-appropriate toning.

Please see photos for condition details as they are part of the item description.
