Hardly noticeable shelf rubbing to spinecaps. Hinge just started Volume III, rendering book just slightly shaken. Some sunning, soiling and very light chipping to dustjackets. Faint, and not displeasing, pipe aroma. Original 15s prices to bottoms of front flaps. 201pp.;177pp.285 pp. Clean bright set, in dustjackets which have reliably done their work of protecting the books within.
