Four (4) Vol set with Lesson One through Four. Some minor moisture damage to endpapers and pages, but does not affect readability. Photo of Five Passenger Coey Flyer in front of Lesson book. " Charles Coey was a balloonist, race driver, Thomas Flyer agent, garage owner, taxi operator, renter of cars and driving-school president.
