Condition
For a set of booklets that are over 100 years old, this is quite a find. Each booklet is in generally good to very good condition with expected age related yellowing and assorted imperfections. The bindings are generally firm. While the booklets do not show water damage, the staples binding the booklets show rust, an indicator of authentic antiquity. Some of the booklets have an owner's stamp of Dr. H.J.E. Maze. The slip case is in fair condition.
Size
Each booklet measures approximately 7" x 4 1/2". Most booklets are 32 pages, but a few have lower page counts.
