Condition report:
The volumes are in good overall condition. Spines remain generally bright with minor shelf wear. The slipcases show light scuffing, rubbing to the edges, and occasional minor marking consistent with age and handling. One slipcase has a small inventory sticker numbered 1468 affixed to the base.
