Condition
Very good overall. Both binders are sound with expected exterior wear from institutional use. Color leaves show light toning, occasional edge and handling wear, and a few pencil marks. The glossy color standards remain generally clean and bright.
Former library reference set with institutional labels, stamps, call numbers, card pocket, and related markings. Please see photographs for representative condition.
