THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF SPORT (2 Volumes)

FIRST EDITIONS 2 Volumes. 4to. hardbacks, rebound in three-quarter chestnut roan with raised bands and decorative gilt to spines and blue linen boards. New endpapers. All edges speckled. 632 and 655pp., both volumes with b/w tissue-guarded plates and many b/w photos and illustrations in text. Some of the tissue-guards are foxed but the pages and plates are mostly clean, excepting the first few pages of each volume which have slight damp stains to edges (possibly from the speckling process). Both volumes have ink name and date (Jan. '98) to early blank. Very occasional pencil markings in margins. Some rubbing and light scuffing to lower edges of roan binding of spine. Overall a VERY GOOD SET.........FOR FURTHER DESCRIPTION, PLEASE ENQUIRE.
