Vol 5: Half-leather over pebbled boards. Ex- libre. Texblock is square and tight, however, the covers are nearly detached and a crude attempt has been made to reattach the front cover with some type of clearish glue, and because the job was only partly affectively, opening the loose board has torn the half-title and title pages to the first issue.

One leaf proud. Leather spine well worn, although gilt lettering still legible. Vol 26: Black half-leather over black pebbled boards.
