Hi Jean,

The titles started in their simple original beige coloured light card covers and all the pages were unopened...I picked them up rather cheap, $110 from memory...I carried these for years in wait for the right local book binder to come along and he did through industry contacts...The price I paid for binding was still less that a good old rebound set sells for so I was happy to extend myself for this bespoke binding and padded slip case, now preserved for future generations.
