This lot of 13 hardcover books from Time Life's \"The Swing Era\" series is a must-have for any book collector or swing music enthusiast. Published in 1972, each book covers a different aspect of the era, from the music itself to the performers and venues that made it all possible.With beautiful illustrations and engaging writing, these books are sure to transport you back in time to the golden age of swing. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering the genre, this collection is a valuable addition to any bookshelf.  On some of the books, the introduction pages only have some discoloration. (see last picture) The rest of the pages are fine. The corners show a little wear and tear, however, they are in good condition for their age. A great set of books for such a nostalgic era!
