The outside of the leather hinges have some cracking and a little separation. The inside covers are in very good condition, the hinges were reinforced by the book binder, both boards are attached. There are no bookplates, markings or writing on the inside covers or end papers. The pages are in very good to very good-plus condition, the pages are very nice. The pages are crisp, all pages are tight to the binding. The pages have a marble finish on all edges. The leather spines are in good condition with some age-expected wear; the lettering is still easily read. These are clean books that were gently handled down through the years. These books come from a smoke free home. These books are interesting historical reading that would make for a nice addition to your library!
