Mostly clean internally w/ one book exhibiting very light, very minor dampstaining/minor wrinkling the a few of the pages edges - just barely and confined to the margin (hardly worth mentioning).  Each volume contains four detailed lithographed plates depicting various scenes and characters from Scott's tales, most w/ tissue guards.
