Still attractive on the shelf. Set displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this set as it survives. We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly. Books Measure c. 10 3/4" H x 7 3/4" W. [B11385].

Excellent experience from start to finish! Noah Webster's Collected Essays on Politics, Literature, and Morals (1843) arrived very quickly—much faster than anticipated. The packaging was thorough and secure, ensuring this rare and fragile item was well-protected during transit. The book was exactly as described, with all expected age-related wear clearly noted in the listing. A true gem for any collector. Highly trustworthy seller—thank you for preserving history so well!
