A printer's note in the prelims to each book notes: "Of this Edition of Whyte-Melville's Works, One Thousand and Fifty Copies have only been printed by Morrison and Gibb Limited, Edinburgh, who have distributed the type" The books are mostly in Good plus condition, a little rubbed and with occasional discoloration of the boards, occasional marks, with even light sunning to spines.
