Full green buckram, lettered in gold at the spine and upper board. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. The buckram quite discoloured at the backstrip, with a touch of wear to the spine ends and corner tips and some browning to the free endpapers. Very good. A very nice set, marred by the usual backstrip fading but otherwise in quite super shape. No dust wrappers called for. Very Good.
