No the seller said 'read once'... and possibly by looking at a couple 'of the pics you could add 'well thumbed' to that description perhaps???

The initial sellers description did so get my hopes up.A virgin,pristine set of Maxey's...Ooooh...Then I saw the pics... :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm no Maxey elitist snob - does such a position exist? But I was hoping they would look rather better in the pictures because of the way they were described.... :cry:

Perhaps we book collecting types are too exacting,picky with our hopes and dreams and the books we desire to purchase???

Pete, the photo that you've posted of the books is nearly as bad as Betty Maxey's drawings. :D
