Some slight bumping to the heads and tails of the spines as well as to the extremities, most notable to 'Cornwall'. Spine label is fading slightly to 'Cornwall'. The odd small mark to the boards of some volumes. Slight cockling to the spine of 'Wiltshire'. Internally, front hinges slightly strained to 'The English Lakes', 'Gloucestershire', and 'Wiltshire'. A very small hole has been punctured from the title page to page 166 of 'The English Lakes', though it does not affect readability. Internally, page 103 to 'Staffordshire' is detached but present, otherwise volumes are generally firmly bound. Pages contain the odd pencil notation, and there are a few light handling marks and spots to 'Monmouthshire', 'Wiltshire', and 'Gloucestershire', but otherwise pages are generally clean. Very Good.
