Both volumes show only very minor shelf wear to both book and jacket. However, a big however here, volume II has highlighting in yellow and some sparse ink marginalia on ~ 50 pages or so. It has all been done quite neatly but it is there none the less. Otherwise both volumes could be described as near fine to fine. .
