Vintage 1968 Johnson On Shakespeare Samuel Johnson NY Univ HC Red 2 Vol Set
Very Good
Both dust-jacketed hardcovers show moderate shelf wear with surface scuffing, gloss scratches, and rubbing to the red jackets, most evident on the front panels and spines as shown. Jacket edges, corners, and spine ends are bumped with small chips, short tears, and creases, and the inner flaps show age toning along the folds. Page edges display uniform age toning with a few small spots. Interior boards and text pages are clean and bright with tight bindings and no highlighting or underlining aside from small pencil price notations on the front free endpapers. Includes two hardcover volumes with dust jackets only as pictured.
