This beautiful set of 4 volumes includes works, life and letters of Anatole France. They are uniformly bound in half calf leather, with five raised bands and gilt tooling to the spine. They were published by John Lane The Bodley Head in the 1920's.
The books are in very good condition, with some fading to the leather spines and board edges. The top edge of the text blocks are dulled and there is some light wear and scuffing to the leather in places. The boards show minor marks and the corners are lightly rubbed.
Inside, there are no inscriptions or writings of any kind. The pages show light age toning but are remarkably clean and bright. There is very occasional minor marking and foxing.
Dimensions of each volume is 18.4cm x 13cm.
The books will arrive securely wrapped in bubble wrap, patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
