First two volumes are very good or better, unsophisticated, tightly bound, no wear to inner hinges, bookplates of Stanley Kidder Wilson (an author and advertising man, who published an introduction and bibliography to the works of John Leech with the Grolier Club in 1914) and older bookplates of J. T. Waddington (not much out there on him except that he paid for some of the restoration of Ely Cathedral); third volume has been neatly respined with original spine laid down, appears to have some work done to inner hinges and also appears from the stiffness when opening the book, that the text block has been glued to the spine. 8 plates drawn and etched by A. Hervieu and 5 by John Leech (in the Third Series). Very Good.
