Description: No. 148 of one thousand sets, signed by Kipling in the first volume. Twenty-eight octavo volumes; red gilt-blocked beveled cloth, top edges gilt, fore- and bottom edges untrimmed; in uniform dustjackets. Front endpapers with printed bookplates of Harry Bishop Clapp (to each pastedown) and James Glen Mead (to each free endpaper). The latter have caused some mild rippling to the endleaves, else a fresh, fine set in the original printed dustwrappers, uniformly fine and free of darkening or wear. The authoritative edition of Kipling's works, rarely found in the original dustwrappers and almost unheard of in this condition, certainly the finest set to reach the market in the past twenty or more years.
