About This Item
London: Viking. 1988, 1991 and 1995. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Three Volumes. Original black cloth with gilt lettering to spines, in dustwrappers. All volumes illustrated. Vol. 1: A very good copy, the binding tight and square. The paper stock used for the first volume is of a poorer quality than that used for the other two volumes and is a little toned. There is a small crease to the top edge of p. 338, the contents are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or marks. The very good dustwrapper shows a little shelf-wear, the laminate peeling away a little at the top of the spine and outer corners. Vols. 2 and 3 are both fine, bright copies, with no blemishes to note. The dustwrappers are also fine; there is a 3mm nick/tear to the lower edge of the spine of the third volume. All dustwrappers remain unclipped (£16.95; £20.00; £25.00 net to front flap). A bright, attractive set of these classic works. The historian's monumental trilogy covering all 1123 years of the Byzantine Empire. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
