Description: This vintage set of Walter J. Black Classics Club Collection is a must-have for any book collector. In these eleven books, you will find a wonderful collection of wide range of topics from history, poetry, politics, dialogs, and much more. These Walter J. Black, Inc. editions published in the 1930s and 940s, have a unique charm that is hard to find in today's mass-produced books. Each book in this collection has its own special attributes, making them a rare find. Whether you're a history buff or a literature lover, this collection is sure to impress. Some, but not all, of the books include the original Classics Club Bulletin for that particular issue. Included are: *The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Copyright 1937. This book does not have the Classics Club Bulletin. There is a name and address taped to the inside back cover. *Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. Copyright 1941*The Selected Poems of Robert Browning.

Copyright 1947 Condition: All of the books are in decent condition for their age, but they all show a lot of discoloration and wear from age, storage, and use. Some of the books show stress tears at the seam of the inside front cover. Some of the books have a name and address taped on the inside back cover. They are all intact and I could find no markings in any of the books. Please see pictures for more condition details. Please note that the pictures of the front and back of the books show some sort of pattern, possibly because of lighting. That pattern is not true to the books. The books are actually a plain woven tan in color, albeit discolored from age, use and some staining, and all the same.
