Boards are generally bright but rubbed at the joints, corners bumped and some abraded, the heads and feet of the spines are generally tender, pushed and abraded. Volumes 2, 3 and 8 have insect damage to the spines. The plates are generally clean but some with light to moderate foxing, most with tissue guards, the edges are generally tender. Plate 8 in volume 1 has a 4.5cm tear rising vertically from base through the "T" in the first word of the title "The Boadab Tree". All plates and pages disbound as intended. Ferguson 7279. Intended for binding in two volumes, the 8 volume subscriber edition is encountered less often than the 2 volume sets. A scarce item.
