Spines have four bands, with bright gilt lettering and decoration. Top edges are also flawless gilt. There are light rubs at corners and bottoms and fore edges, but none are rubbed through. Top of spine on vol II is chipped, while that of vol I just has a rub, and both have a few minor scuffs. Marbled boards are rubbed. Endpapers are marbled and unmarked. Hinges are intact and bindings are tight. Vol I has two leaves with a one inch closed tear to the fore margin, not intruding into text (pgs 63/64 and 65/66).
