This is one of the most extensive and thorough editions of Poe's Tales of Mystery & Imagination ever printed. Indeed, one of the most lavishly and beautifully illustrated editions of a Poe book ever created and it retains all the original art with no works missing, "Many people liked to remove these and frame them", luckily this one has been well preserved. It includes some of Poe's most monumental works all in one book. This 1933 edition is the real 1st edition from the publisher and not a later remake. I would snag this one before it's gone.

The overall condition of this book is good for being 90 years in the making. It does show age, shelf wear, and some reading use. The covers and spine have scratches, fading, blemishes, bumps, and normal shelf wear. The interior pages are naturally age-toned but are in lovely condition. The collection of art is all present with none missing "sometimes hard to find." The binding is tight and strong with everything holding very well. It's 90 years old, thus, it's not perfect, however, it's been well-preserved for its age.
