Both volumes bear wear and tear consistent with age, including tearing and loss to the edges of the pages, as well as creasing (as evidenced in the accompanying condition report images). Internally, there is general foxing, but overall the contents are fairly clear and well preserved. There does not appear to be evidence of previous adhesive tape repairs. Some soiling to page edges.
