Full Set of Collectable Bronte Books in Fairwater, Cardiff for sale

Full Set of Collectable Bronte Books

A full set of Bronte Books. The Book Lover's Edition, Gresham, 1910. Hardcover, seven volumes. Book condition: Good, The Professor has a tear onthe front cover and is starting to come away from rest of book. Shirley has about half inch torn from top of spine. Life of Charlotte Bronte by Mrs Gaskell has a small quarter inch strip missing on front by spine. The rest have slight wear at end of spines. Each volume illustrated and a total overall of 73 full page illustrations with captioned tissue guards; the majority of the illustrations are based on photographs, which were taken for this edition by John James Stead of Heckmondwike. Original red soft leather with ornate gilt decorated backstrips, and gilt motif to upper boards, top edges gilt. This set is much more attractive than it appears from the catalogue of faults, and on the shelf there is little to notice. This is a scarce complete set in the limp burgundy leather binding. Despite the condition, these rare books are valuable, in fact there is an identical set for sale in Hay on Wye at the moment for £375, so this is a bargain to anyone who knows about old complete sets of Bronte books.
