These books are in good overall condition, having undergone professional restoration. In both volumes few pages are partially detached from the binding but have been carefully reattached through restoration. The pages show some yellowing and sporadic foxing, which is a natural result of aging. Volume II exhibits distortion, possibly due to water damage. The pages are curved with uneven edges.
Despite these minor issues, the books remain in good condition, with the restoration work ensuring they are still quite presentable and functional.
