This stack of 5 old vintage/antique books are in varying conditions of disrepair. They are tied together with a beige ribbon with the intention of being used for display or props. The books date from around the 1910s - 1920s and some have lush decorative title pages with art nouveau designs.
Generally, though, the books are not in the best condition. There are margin annotations in many of them and underlined passages. In some cases the dye from the cloth covers has bled a little onto the pages, there are other stains, watermarks and one top end of all of them is discoloured with dust from being shelved. Some have cracked or torn spines. There is no mould and I do not detect mildew, they are just old and well used.
Displayed as a stack the measurements are 6.75 X 4.25X 3.75 inches.
They add a touch of old fashioned intellectual gravitas to any book shelf.
