What a glorious set (hard to find) to adorn a fine library South African/African History
All books are numbered either 1/750 or 1/1000.
Full leather and some quarter leather (see our photo, please zoom in)
Condition of Books : All books are clean and tight, free of inscription.
One fault previous owner cataloged the books (spines), and with label 1cmx 1x cm sticky tape labels. Covers per picture supplied, fair wear and tear but TIGHTLY bound, just the leather worn in some spots. An amazing set, 45 years old.
The other issue is 4 volumes Volumes 2 – 3 -11- 36 are “fill in copies”differently bound, until one found the exact matching series/publications, a little challenge, and exciting one. One is NOT going to find this 50 set of a gem, in a hurry.
A full set would be worth $2500 = ZAR 37 000.00 This incomplete 50 volume set going for: ZAR 20 000.00 a massive savings $1130 = ZAR17 000.
