The first edition of this fascinating compilation of the journals of Scott and other expedition members ,with negligible fading or discoloration and no inscriptions. A very good copy, not fine because of the following: front board of volume 1 is slightly warped, with the pages following its gentle curve, a slightly dulled ares of the spine of vol.1; foxing to the deckled edges is visible; areas of the bottom edges shelf-dusty; tiny areas of wear to the extreme corners of the boards and base of spine cloth.Overall a handsome set to grace the shelf and for reference, with the help of the excellent index.
