Description
Dark Blue, Leather bounded (3/4) and cloth hardbacks. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of knowledge with this set of 5 randomly chosen gilt-edged hardback volumes of "The Century Dictionary." Each book is a testament to the grandeur of linguistic heritage, bound in luxurious 3/4 leather that exudes a classic charm. Published by Century in the year 1900, over a century ago, these books are not only a collector's delight but also a nod to the past era's craftsmanship. The dictionaries are presented in English, offering an extensive reference experience for enthusiasts and scholars alike. With origins in the United Kingdom, this original set is a celebration of literary history. Perfect for those who appreciate the art of print and the elegance of reference books, these volumes are sure to grace any library with their presence. I have 10 total out of the original 16. They are quite heavy, and I will send a random five with the purchase of one eBay lot. The books are in very good condition, with normal wear and tear, the bindings are secure, the pages are clean, only the first volume has a title page. There’s a faint musty box smell to the set. There’s no apparent damage other than wear and tear. Surprisingly strong and secure given its antique age. Since I don’t have the full 16 books in the original set, I won’t sell for the full prize, and will split into two random sets of five. The books are 12 inches tall and 9 1/4 inches deep; quite large, and would look good on top of your bookshelf or stacked showing the blue and leather covers. The top edges are gilt edged, and there is gold gilt tooling on the spine and covers. There is a set of raised bands on the spines.

Very positive experience with James. I didn't notice that it was pick up only but he worked with me and packaged the item and mailed it. I was very impressed with his customer service and responsiveness. Further, he was very personable. The map came in great condition and I highly recommend him as a seller.
