First edition, first printing, and first state of each volume. Complete in 12 volumes. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the James Broom-Lynne illustrated dustwrappers. 'A Question of Upbringing' is a fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper, just a little rubbing and nicking at the head of the spine, with some toning of the rear panel and flap edges. 'A Buyers Market' is a fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper, just a short closed tear to the upper rear flap fold and a touch of fading to the spine. The dustwrapper is the first state with wide flaps. 'The Acceptance World' is a fine copy, in a very near fine dustwrapper, with just a little creasing and tiny nicks to the flap edges. 'At Lady Molly's' is a very near fine copy, just a little spotting to the closed text block edge, in a fine, bright and unfaded dustwrapper. 'At Casanova's Chinese Restaurant' is a near fine copy, mildly toned to the closed text block edge in a near fine dustwrapper that has a short closed tear to the top edge of the rear flap. The remaining seven volumes are fine, in fine or very near fine dustwrappers, without fading, loss or tears. None of the volumes are price clipped.
A superb set, in entirely original condition, of Anthony Powell's magnus opus.
