Bound in the publisher's original black cloth boards with silver gilt titling to the fronts and spines, these volumes remain structurally excellent. The bindings are entirely tight and secure, with sharp corners and no leaning. There is some minor surface scuffing and faint white marking to the cloth, most visibly on the front and rear boards of Volume 2, alongside a very faint, small smudge to the fore-edge of the lower text block. Internally, the volumes are impeccable; the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing, inscriptions, or marginalia.
