What A Phenominal Find . . .

I had acquired years ago, as a gift the first HB volume of this set and wanted to locate the second. Upon locating this I never thought it would be in such mint condition . . . New it was, for the best price ever! I just love this item and since it is HB, I can share with so many others, without it becoming frayed or worn too easily. Thanks(book seller)for such a great find!
