This is a beautiful collection of Dumas's work. This thick volume is nearly 100 years old. It has a lovely embossed cover with gold and red embellishments. The spine has elaborate decor and would be a nice addition to your bookshelf. It is strongly bound with only the mildest wear along the bottom edge of the spine. There is a stamp with the original owner's name on the inside cover. The page edges have some discoloration.
