Description: Lovely set of books. 1957 printings, made in the USA, standard paper, not India paper. Thumb indexed . In two volumes, complete. These books came from a mid century office building in Albany, New York, in the historic district downtown, and were part of a large collection of items that belonged to a company that had been in operation in that building for years. Albany is the state Capitol and is known for lawyer offices, government research facilities, and the like. These books are nicely preserved, the bindings are excellent, the pages are practically perfect, the spine lettering is still visible, and the cover lettering is still visible. The two volume version of this dictionary is not all that common and this is a very nice one, being that it was stored in a climate controlled environment. The pages are outstanding and the covers show average signs of shelf wear, but not heavy. There is some minor spotting and scratches on the boards. The books have a slight musty smell, only about a one or two on a scale of one to ten. Faint age spotting to edges. Thumb index tabs are outstanding and not damaged - gold lettering on black vinyl very nice. All in all an attractive set in age appropriate condition, pages remarkably nice. No creasing of pages. End papers are excellent. Substantially heavy, but I have enough experience packaging books to know how to package these as well. Ships out very next morning, please feel free to message with questions. International shipping is available.
