About This Item
Macdoald & Co, 1951-1961 1951. NF/NF. All are 1st thus with the exception of Emma which is a 3rd Impression. 12.2 x 18.5 cm red faux leather with gilt stamped titles to the spine. Top edges red, each volume with 7 full page colour illustrations and numerous black and white line drawings by Philip Gough. All volumes are in their original scarce printed cellophane wrappers and Pride and Prejudice has a 9/6d price on the front flap. [Gilson E 261] A near fine set of books bright boards with firm spine tips and corners. Internally clean, without name, inscription or bookplate and just a hint of toning to the edges of the endpapers probably as a result of the glue used in production. The very scarce jackets are complete and in near fine condition noting just tiny losses to two corners and a short 1cm closed tear to the top corner of the lower panel of Persuasion. A lovely mid 20th Century set with some really charming Philip Gough illustrations. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
