A few volumes include contemporary inscriptions to the front free endpapers. Ex-library insert to front free endpaper of Comment débuta Marcel Proust. Externally, generally smart. Moderate bumping and rubbing across almost all texts, the newer 1990s and 2013 versions being much fresher and brighter. Front covers of Du Côté de Marcel Proust and A un Ami are completely loose. Lettres a Madame C. lacking rear cover. One copy of Correspondance Générale de Marcel Proust: Volume 4 suffers from a significant chip to the bottom half of the front cover, which extends to the endpapers. Significant loss of cloth to spine of De Loti à Proust and Du Côté de Marcel Proust, with remnants peeling. Spotting and discolouration throughout. Internally, front hinge to most volumes reasonably weak, leading to the odd delicate page, more common to the front of the works. Otherwise, generally firmly bound. Some small tears to page edges. A number of pages unopened to Du Côté de Marcel Proust, Citations Reférences et Allusions de Marcel Proust and Correspondance Générale de Marcel Proust: Volume 2. Light spotting and discolouration throughout, newer editions again being noticably cleaner. Good. book.
