There is NO writing or marking anywhere in this set!!!!!! Volume one has a tiny chip out of the spine at the extreme lower corner edge. Volume two has one rubbed corner on the bottom fore-edge and a tiny pinhole on the rear cover.

The corners are straight and true, no "leaning" to spines, no bumping (one corner rubbed) or rubbing, no foxing on pages, simply a SUPERB set. Volume 1 has a few pages with very faint watermarks on the extreme outer edge or forend.
