All of my books are VERY OLD and have 100+ years of wear to varying degrees. 3 of these have had their spines re-backed, looks like by 2 different people. One just the spine re-backed [original spine laid down over it], the other 2 -the new leather also replaced the leather on the sides on the boards as well as the spine - picture #9 shows the 2 different types - very nicely done, matches well!

Boards - very secure, some spots [shown is the 4 dirtiest]. Mostly very good- a few inches of splitting to some [glued back down to prevent further splitting]. Spine & spine ends - varies - some good, some chipped, 6 with repairs.

Varying degrees of wear - all touched up. Inner hinges - most very good - the 3 re-bound volumes have been taped or have black ribbon. Pages - generally very clean , only a few spots. Writing - one soldiers name had been crossed out and a new name written in.

Rips /folds - quick flip through each volume - looks like only a few of each. A NICE SET FOR YOU WAR COLLECTION! Please Add me to your Favorites list. AND check back now and then to see what's new!

Otherwise I can't send you a new invoice. Don't panic, I will get to ASAP. T can take up to 14 days to get back East. All others please contact me. This book is very old and.

May have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]. Dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference!

My nose doesn't work like it use to. So the old book smell doesn't bother me.
