Description
THE WORKS OF CHARLES DICKENS. Complete in 15 volumes. This is an original Victorian set of Dickens. The bindings are original. Bound in leather. Set is not dated. The bindings and the publisher are late Victorian era. Quality leather. Set is extremely well preserved despite the age. A lot of shelf abrasions to the spines and extremities. All hinges sound. Leather supple despite being over 100 years old. The main wear is the shelf abrasions. The paper is higher grade than many late Victorian bindings. Some browning. This set is illustrated. Set has scuffs and abrasions. Still a sound Victorian set of Dickens in the original gilded calf leather. Approximately 8 inches tall. Slightly taller than average. Many sets from this era are only 7-7.5 inches tall. This would make an excellent gift. Each book will be individually wrapped and well protected for shipping. 22.03.10

Item arrived on time and as described. The antiquarian books I purchased were very well packaged. Throughout there was timely and helpful communication. For me, was a first-time experience with this seller and was just as one would hope for, and expect, from a seller. The seller deserves the highest positive feedback. I strongly recommend seller for the great array of antiquarian items, and for the competence and reliability of the seller in delivering on their end of the transaction process.

The set of books that I purchased were better than described and expertly packaged. The shipping was faster than expected, as upgraded shipping was provided at no extra cost. This seller was slow at responding to some of my messages and offers, but really came through in the end and made this a great experience. I would recommend Ari Rare Books to the discerning collector!

I’ve bought many things from this seller, and I’ve looked at this set for about 10 years. They arrived, as always, exactly as described, beautifully packed, and I love them. I don’t know where they find things, but they’re always exquisite.
