DJ spines unevely faded, rubbing to extremities, top edges dust stained, internally quite bright and clean, excepting the first volume which has had a brown liquid spill to top edge, leading to some light staining (not affecting sense), and crinkling of the pages (but with no adhesion), so still eminently useable if a little unsightly

A decent working set of this important bibliography of Australian related material, and still surprisingly useful
