The Times London (approx. 60) original newspapers January and February 1917 bound in hardback - WWI

I am selling a collection of original London Times newspapers all bound in hardcover, this gives the impression of a massive book and weighs quite a lot as you can imagine. Each daily paper and the WWI news of that day including battles and losses and other stories all recorded in this large book for the months of January and February 1917, so approx. 60 newspapers, there are hundreds of pages of text and information. I have taken some random photos of a few editions / stories, however each daily The Times paper has multiple pages and various news stories, adverts and other information both in the UK and abroad during WWI. Daily updates on the battle of the Somme, Zeppelin attacks, France, USA, losses, along with many other battles and war news around the world. This also has news on the sinking of the SS Californian which was a British Leyland Line steamship. She is thought to have been the only ship to see the Titanic, or at least her rockets, during the sinking, sank by two U-boats.

These make fascinating reading that is for sure, with some historical insights into the WWI period, a very rare thing. What I have noted is basically just random pages I have stopped at and briefly looked at. 

 This was originally acquired in Northern Ireland and had been in storage for decades.

All newspapers in very good condition for their age in my opinion, although a few at the start have some light spotting age browning. I presume all editions are present within the covers as this is a solid binding with no loose pages. Outer cover spine has two areas of damage as shown, this does not affect the inner newspapers, these areas could be patched up by a new owner. Outer covers also have some marks from age / storage, scuffs to top and bottom of spine, however still a very solid binding. Someone may wish to split this up into single papers, I am just selling it as you see it and hope a new home can be found. Any questions and I am only an email away.
