A History of the English-speaking Peoples, part work in deluxe binding 12 vols.
New Caxton Library Services, London, 1971, hardcover. The HESP part work is normally seen in either 7 loose leaf binders, or bound in 23 slim red volumes. Unknown to many, there was also a deluxe binding with blue leather spines over blue boards with gold stamping in red panels. By combining two vols from the 23 vol set, a set of 11 thick and one thin volumes results. By far the most attractive issue of HESP. This set looks really nice but is ex-library. There are faint traces of old labels on the spines, the front free endpapers are removed, and each volume has a small stamp at the bottom of its first page. The last set I sold was at $400.00, so a good deal here. (A138i.3). Item #36054
