Three hardcover volumes with dust jackets. One price. Free shipping to any of the 50 U.S. states. All First Editions I believe.
These are not pristine collector copies, but they are more than acceptable reading copies for your library. A whole bunch of history regarding the fur trade, mountain men, exploration and settlement of the American West, etc.
