Mountain Meadow: Property from the Collection of Betty and Gordon Moore, Woodside, California

All include frontispieces and half titles. We do not know which books are missing, as the publication of this set has never been discussed, so it is impossible to tell. The most important books are the six Jane Austen novels, which are complete. There are armorial bookplates in several volumes (Stradbroke). Condition: general offsetting and spotting, mostly to engraved titles and frontispieces, a few volumes dampstained. Extremities rubbed to bindings. 

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
