There is a $30 discount if you pick up these books at our Columbus, Ohio bookstore.

These are hardback books, 9 1/4" by 6 1/4", with green cloth covers and gilt edges to the top of the pages. They average about 450 pages each, except for the last volume (the General Index), which is over 1000 pages long. Each book provides a general history of a particular nation (some volumes cover more than one nation).

The books have many b/w illustrations, and there is a full color two page map at the end of each volume (see scan 10 for an example). There is a nice b/w plate, protected by a translucent page, across from the title page of each volume (see scan 7 for an example).

Each book has a table of contents, list of illustrations, bibliography, and index. In addition, the General Index (Volume XXV) has a 27 page world chronology, an 80 page bibliography of historical novels (organized by place and time), a 150 page index of authors and titles quoted in the bibliographies of the individual volumes, and a 23 page index of the artists, illustrations, and maps in the set; all of this is in addition to the main section, a 786 page index of the historical persons, places, and events written about in the set.

The books are in good condition, with general wear. There is no writing or underlining on the pages. A few of the books have some water stains on some of the pages. Volume V has some damage to the front cover, and Volume XX has a damaged back cover. A number of the labels on the spines have definite wear, although they are still readable (see the first scan for some examples).

NOTE- shadows and blurs on the images are from the scanning process, and are NOT on the books themselves
