Please see photos. These books were printed in 1912. For being over 100 years old, they are in really good shape! However, the spines definitely have seen better days. The pages have considerable yellowing as would be expected for books of this age. However, everything is fully intact and crisp I don't see any thing that takes away from the ability to read and enjoy these books. The only two volumes that give me concern, are volume one and volume eight. The rest of the volumes have very minimal damage to the spines. The front and back covers of all of the volumes are in excellent shape. Only the spines show any real damage. If you would like more photos, please reach out!
