Overall condition fair to good: ex‑lib. Ealing; no dustjackets; some wear to the edges and corners of the boards and spines, pages edges a bit grubby; the usual library marks, and a biro skid to the margin on at least one page, otherwise overall appears to be free of marking; vol. 2 has seen the most use, with chunks of the binding starting to dislodge (no pages are detached); please note, this is an umpteenth-generation reprint, so the quality of the printing leaves much to be desired.
