I honestly think a photograph speaks a thousand words so I won't attempt to describe the condition in detail, but ask you to examine the photos, I have taken plenty that cover most, if not all, aspects. If, of course, you have any specific questions regarding the condition, please send me a message and I will respond as soon as possible. If I have noticed anything in particular I think you would want to know, I will mention it below in “Seller’s Comments”, but if that is blank, please refer to the pictures.

Seller’s comments: I have, at time of listing, all 6 volumes available separately, as per this one, and also 3 sets of 6 books, each with different covers, and some slimmer versions. If you put "The Royal Natural History" into my other items search bar, they will all come up. Please note this copy has had its endpapers replaced and is missing the title page frontispiece.

Thank you.
