Collector's Library of the Civil War|22 Volumes – MINT!

Collector's Library of the Civil War, 22 volumes out of 30. Time-Life Books

Beautifully bound in dark blue decorated leather, gilt titling on raised spines, each book has a relief scene of the front cover depicting soldiers marching and on horseback, gilt on all edges, books are in mint condition, they do not look like they’ve ever been read, no tears, creases, marks, etc, only flaw I found was one of the red ribbon bookmarks has significant fraying and a small area of the marbling torn (see photo) and two volumes have gilt fading on spines, most books still contains the original Time-Life insert which provides a historical summary of the volume and blank bookplate.

These leather-bound volumes, like every book in the Collector’s Library of the Civil War, has been reproduced photographically from the original edition. It thus preserves the authenticity of the original, including typographical errors and printing irregularities.
