*SOLD* What a find & what a treat!
Lose yourself in the wonderful literary world of the famous English Novelist Jane Austen.
This classic book set contains Austen’s most notable six novels – Emma, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park.
The set was published by Thomas Nelson & Sons and although there are no dates in the books, through research, they are believed to have been published in the 1950’s. All the books have delightful cream coloured parchment cover boards, with a pretty gold detailed pattern running down the spine.
They have been well read, well used and well thumbed, but given their age they are in a good all round vintage condition. Within all the books the pages are still neatly and tightly attached to the spine & there are no rips, tears or graffiti to any of the pages. However, there are age spots to some areas plus tanning & rubbing to the top and bottom of the cream covers. There is some discolouration to the top and bottom of the pages.
Northanger Abbey has some slight damage to the green area of the spine where the title is printed. Inside the first 10 pages or so of Pride & Prejudice there are larger areas of age spotting on the bottom corner. ( shown in picture)
I have tried to show in the photos areas of the wear and tear mentioned above but please ask for further photos if required. Although there are some elements of usage over the 70 or so years, all the books in the set are fully legible, clear, neat and in good order.
Treat yourself to this very rare find, add them to a collection of classic works or spoil a very lucky someone.
The books measure 16 x 10 cm.
