The binding & pages are tight. Right inside the front cover & FFEP is a library sticker with the Cheshire Library Bi Laws & a sticker or book plates removed, in volII the first dozen pages has a slight water line on the top right corner of the pages .Each volume has some slight shelf wear & a bit of bumping to a few corners :although slight, The historical value of these two volumes would definitely oblige you to overlook the minor flaws due to age !My internet search led me to find only one other copy of these rare books.
