All six books are very clean bright and neat. The slipcase has some uneven faded. The top face of the slipcase is faded and one side face is faded in a bar pattern. the slipcase is clean and sound thought the papers to the sides are lifting very slightly at the overlaps. |

Coleridge said of Radcliffe’s most famous work: “...curiosity is kept upon the stretch from page to page, and from volume to volume, and the secret, which the reader thinks himself every instant on the point of penetrating, flies like a phantom before him, and eludes his eagerness till the very last moment of protracted expectation”
