A wonderful collection of antique miniature classic books. It is unusual to find so many in this condition.
The condition is G for antique books that are over 100 years old. I believe all the bindings and pages intact but I have not checked all books.
The last seven titles do show slight wear, small tears or discoloration. Please see photos for condition.
