Condition: Cover & spine wear noted especially around the edges. There are American Flag stickers on the inside cover of two of these books and the third has a hand drawn sign-out form with a stamp from 1934 on it. No other writing noted. Aside from two books missing the rice paper separating the title page from the frontispiece, no missing pages noted. No page tears noted. All books are tightly bound with no damage to the hinges. The spines are colored a bit differently on each one - this happens for two reasons - printing dates - since these were printed in different years, the material used is not an exact color match. The second reason can be fading caused by sitting on a sunny bookshelf for years. Please be sure to view all photos as they are part of the visual description of these books.
