About This Item
London: George Allen and Unwin, 1952. Complete two-volume set, sponsored by the Indian Government's Ministry of Education. Mauve covers with gilt. Vol I, 617pp inc index, plus adverts. Vol II, 462pp inc index, plus adverts. Both volumes in similar condition. Covers very sound with minor bumping to head and foot of spine, light foxing to endopapers and dusty, yellowing page edges. Some highlighting (fading), underlining and some marginalia in first half of each volume. Neat name and note on each ffep, otherwise internally very tight. Both DJs unclipped with modest edgewear, particularly head and foot of spine, and a few small nicks and closed tears. Overall a very decent set. Heavy set might require extra postage. Ref:114967. First Edition. Cloth. VG-/G. 16x24cm.
