Condition Report:
- The Books: Near Fine. The maroon cloth bindings are exceptionally square, tight, and fresh with sharp corners. Internally completely clean, crisp, and bright throughout. Entirely free of ownership inscriptions, bookplates, or annotations. The top text blocks and fore-edges are clean and free of the common spotting or foxing typical of this set.
- The Dust Jackets: Very Good to Near Fine. An excellent survival; crucially, all five dust wrappers are completely unclipped, retaining their original printed UK prices. There is no major chipping, tearing, or edge wear. Volume IV exhibits some light, uniform sun-fading to the spine panel, as is typical of the pigments used on these wrappers; the remaining four jackets remain bright and unfaded.
An highly collectible, unclipped, and pristine internal set of a cornerstone twentieth-century diary publication. Please ask for more images.
