The Story of Civilization Will & Ariel Durant Complete 11 Vol Book Set HC w/ DJs. This is the complete set of W + A Durant's The Story of Civilization in 11 Volumes. The books are in exceptionally good condition for their age--there are some minor issues like slight tears, marks, Vol. 4 (The Age of Reason has some purple staining on paper ( slight aesthetic issue, not affecting reading or book-shelf presentation), but in general, a readable and book-shelf presentable set. Volume 5 of the set (The Renaissance) is from a later set, but still mixes in with the others aesthetically and size-wise (not perfect, but close).
