The binding is tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf wear along with scuffing/wear to the leather boards and spine and wear to the edge/fore pages, NOT affecting the text! The wear, while minor, is still clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of these two rare books. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious wear. Once again, while still in lovely condition, we want to reiterate that the wear to both books is clearly visible! All of the wear, however slight, should still be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Following the conclusion of the auction, payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence!
