The Romances of Alexandre Dumas 48 Volume Complete Set Limited Edition #/1000

Description: All volumes are from the same set #504/1000. All volumes have secure bindings with no loose pages. Each volume bears a prior ownership mark, with most being signed and dated by the previous owner in 1895. A few of the later volumes feature an ex-libris stamp, though undated. Volume 31 shows some damage to the cloth at the spine, but this does not affect its structural integrity. Several volumes have partial splits between the endpaper and pastedown; however, this does not compromise their stability. Volume 1 has a glue repair at its split between the pastedown and endpaper, and also has a light water stain visible from the front pastedown to the flyleaf. The text blocks of all volumes are near fine—clean and unmarred, with no markings. The title labels show fading, with some requiring close inspection to read, and Volume 44’s label is partially worn. Overall, the set is in **GOOD** condition—clean, sturdy, and showing typical signs of wear for its age. Set will be carefully packed and shipped using Media Mail in 2 or more boxes. Packages will require a signature at time of receipt. Depending upon your location shipping service may be upgraded at my cost. If a more expedited shipping service is desired please contact us before purchasing to work out any added costs.
