First edition. Complete in nine volumes. Original red cloth with black titles to the spines and upper boards. Without dustwrappers, as issued. An excellent very near fine set, the bindings square and firm, with a tiny bump to the fore-edge of the upper board of volume 9 and minor bumping to the spine tips of volume four. With barcode labels to the lower boards. There is some very faint spotting to the top edge of volumes 1, 2 and 4; a folded corner to a page at the rear of volume 2; and there is a short closed tear and crease to the top edge of the title page of volume 9, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. A lovely set.
