CONDITION
Very Good overall.
The complete four-volume set remains in its original shrink wrap and appears unopened. The plastic wrap has age-related wrinkling, looseness, surface scuffing, and small stretched or partially opened areas around the upper and lower edges.
The illustrated white slipcase shows light age toning, scattered rubbing and surface marks, slight edge and corner wear, and minor compression along the upper edge. Dark discoloration or accumulated debris is visible near the upper opening and along the lower edge around the second volume; its exact nature cannot be determined without removing the wrap.
The four colored book spines remain generally bright. The spine of The House at Pooh Corner shows visible wrinkling or compression beneath the plastic, with additional minor handling or storage wear visible along the lower spine ends.
Because the set remains wrapped, the covers, page edges, bindings, copyright pages, interiors, signatures, inscriptions, remainder marks, and exact printings cannot be inspected or guaranteed.
No dust jackets, as issued. Original illustrated slipcase present.
COLLECTOR’S NOTE
A complete vintage presentation of the four principal Winnie-the-Pooh prose and poetry volumes, retaining Ernest H. Shepard’s original illustrations, the illustrated slipcase, and the original shrink wrap. Unopened examples are less frequently encountered than ordinary reading copies, although the visible storage wear and uncertainty regarding the exact printings have been reflected in the price.
