Contents of this lot:
Condition
Used vintage copies with visible age and handling wear. The covers show rubbing, surface marks and soiling, edge and corner wear, small creases, and wear along the spines. Number 4 shows the most noticeable wear, including staining near the upper front cover, additional discoloration, and roughness along the spine and edges.
The photographed interior pages show cream-to-tan age toning, with uneven browning and scattered small marks. The text on the pages shown remains clear and readable. These are aged, used copies rather than pristine examples.

SELLER’S STATEMENT
Please inspect the photos to assess the condition and contents of these pre-owned items, all of which are in good, extremely usable condition. All are in firm condition, with tight and/or age-appropriate binding and no loose pages.
As I continue to downsize my collection of books, I’m focusing on unusual phenomena, occultism, magic and related subjects. I’ve offered several difficult-to-find items on in the hope of reaching a broader group of collectors. It’s possible that some may be of interest to you. Please glance over these current items is the \"More from this Seller\" section.
