Chapter headings in red and shoulder notes in red in some volumes. Spare labels tipped in. Loose insert from the press in "Hopes and Fears for Art, Sings of Change," that reads: "It has been found advantageous to make one volume instead of two of "Hopes and Fears for Art" and "Signs of Change," and to unite the extra lectures, which were originally intended to form a part of volumes vii and viii, in volume viiii with the title "Architecture, Industry and Wealth," which will complete the series. Paper-covered boards show mild wear to the corners with chips to some edges. Dust soiling to page edges. Spines uniformly faded from blue to brown-grey, showing little wear and not unpleasing in appearance. All square and solidly bound. Free from the usual spotting and foxing of books this age, excepting a few very light spots to some boards. Offsetting to endpapers of two books, still overall very nice copies with internal pages pristine, clean, white, and crisp. No internal markings whatsoever. All in all, the books are attractive and very well-preserved. Handsome copies, all unopened. Unopened. Condition overall: Very Good+.
