Condition: Very Good
Description: Large octavo, 2 volumes, 369pp., 325pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean, unopened set, very good or better, in the publisher's charming textured paper over mustard yellow cloth boards. Inner hinges tender, with some partial cracks, though the bindings are holding firm. Gentle corner wear, mostly in one spot, and light finger-soiling to the light cloth. Contents clean and very fresh, with nearly all gatherings unopened; certainly unread. A surprisingly uncommon set, which contains a great deal of correspondence involving the author of "Frankenstein," as well as a biography by Florence A. ("Mrs. Julian") Marshall, who was best known as a composer and conductor. As best we can tell, this is the first full-length and separately published biography of Mary Shelley to have been published. Scarce in the trade, and appearing infrequently at auction. OCLC holdings are hopelessly muddled, but spot-checking suggests the vast majority of purported holdings are digital-only.
