Three volumes uniformly rebound in brown leather over brown and orange marbled boards; black leather title labels on spines; green endpapers. Lightly scuffing, a few light marks, bound without half-titles; a very good set. Wolff [511] in cloth, noting that the uncommon large 8vo format gives the book a striking appearance. It is also unlike any other novel Black wrote -- being the story of a secret society which is dedicated to destroying tyranny across Europe, and the machinations of one of its leaders. A large and heavy set which will require additional postage. View more info
