Estimate £300-500
Both volumes rebound using original spines and remain in good order.
Mostly the pages are not numbered but we have done our best to check it and both volumes look to be complete.
Volume one has a 1 inch stump of a page approx. a third of the way through, this is thought to be part of the binding process rather than cutting.
Numerous pencil inscriptions inside the front bound, attesting to the edition, rarity and that it is complete.
Vol 2 has four rather discoloured pages, otherwise good.
