***The Good***
- This set of old books is stunning in person. I personally LOVE this set of books.
- 7400 pages of historical writing and art
- The outside of the books makes an excellent design element with a stately ornate design.
- Inside the beautiful covers, the content proves to be stimulating and fun to explore.
- The majority of the pages are crisp and white (never been read feel to them).
- Complete set of 20 volumes
- Free Shipping From Our Vintage Book Shop

***The Bad***
- There are a few minor spine issues (see photos particularly of book 16)
- Slight bending in a few of the books
- Some books have discoloration/marks on the pages. (See Photos for Exact Details)

***Provenance***
These were found in a home on our homestead that has been empty for over 25 years. They were on the shelf proudly displayed by the previous owners, Marvin & Bea, who were avid readers, learners, and collectors (from what we have been told by neighbors.) It is a lovely set that we would be happy to see loved by someone else for the next 50 years.
