Condition

Vintage used condition. The books show varying degrees of age and use, including rubbing, marks and discolouration to the boards, bumped/worn corners and spine ends, and some age-related toning to pages. There is more noticeable wear to some volumes than others.

The books nevertheless present well as a colourful vintage collection and appear generally intact from the photographs.

There are two copies of the Alsatians / German Shepherd volume.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description. The exact 13 books pictured are the books the buyer will receive.
