Overall the set is in Near Fine condition, with the previous owners name and gift inscription repeated in each book, the only marks or writing in any of the books. There is absolutely no foxing or offsetting in any of the books. The text block is clean and bright, edges are also clean & bright. The red topstain is clean, without any fading. The exterior cloth is extremely clean, with the gilt untarnished and bright. The books look unread, are still clean and tight, and the maps are attached, and in excellent condition. The dustjackets, which were protected by an old style of protector, are in fabulous shape with no chips or tears to the edges. None are price clipped and are the original and correct impression for all three books. Virtually no sunning or dustiness to the spines, the light blue tint of the paper is still visible. A beautiful matched set, virtually without fault. No shelf wear to the edges, no soiling to the dustjackets. Positively one of the finest available, scarce in this excellent condition.
