Very Good. One of the rare Shakespeare sets, very charming and complete in twelve volumes. All his works, but in 16mo so they won’t take up all your shelf space!. Spines with five raised bands, compartments elegantly gilt with floral centerpiece, surrounding small tools, very decorative gilt rules, crimson leather title block with blind-stamped gilt lettering and rules. Very little gilt has faded, bindings are worn, several spines cracking and dry and starting, corners bumped and spine ends chipped, but all boards attached. Interiors with some aging and browning but exceptionally clean. Two volumes with owner’s name in ink and out of entire set only one piece of one blank endpaper missing. Else nothing missing and complete. Really a splendid set and overall would be a fine and handsome addition to any library.
