Wear to spine ends and tips on several volumes as well as a few bits of cloth loss. A few volume have had torn spine cloth which has been repaired though still noticeable. Each volume has a bookplate with indecipherable ownership signature with the Latin Psalm 26, "Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo? (The Lord is the source of my light and my safety, so whom shall I fear?) Not perfect, but a solid collectable set at a terrific price. Most volumes grade Very Good though overall condition less due to the aforementioned flaws on several others. Please note: This is a very large, heavy set, weighing over 60lbs, (almost 30 kilos), and will require additional postage even for Ground or Media Mail.
