Condition
Benedict is in very good condition, noting the damp stains to some internal pages of vol. 1. Some signatures in vol 1 are slightly pulled. Waite New Hampshire book is in VG+ condition, with some minor wear and scufffs . Schouler book is in VG condition, with some expected age related spotting and light wear. The binding is very slightly skewed from being stored improperly. Pennsylvania book is fair. The heavy text block is causing the hinges to split from the text block. There is some associated chipping to the poor quality paper. The binding shows some wear and fading. New York at Gettysburg set is in good condition with wear and soiling from age. The internal hinges are mostly split, again due to the weight of the text block and the poorer quality of the paper. But they are still holding. Covers all show some fading. Volume 1 with the most, volume 3 has some damp staining issues on the back cover.
