BRITANNICA'S GREAT BOOKS OF THE WESTERN WORLD : VINTAGE 1952 : LOT OF 32 VOLUMES

Description: BRITANNICA'S GREAT BOOKS OF THE WESTERN WORLD : VINTAGE 1952 : LOT OF 32 VOLUMES This lot consists of 32 volumes from the 54-Volume set "Great Books of the Western World," published in 1952. The books in this lot are from the 1952 printing. All volumes are in very good condition, but due to the age of the volumes and the materials used in manufacture, a few have some brittle edges around the spine of the book. Those volumes with edge wear are noted below. The volumes included are as follows: VOLUME 1 : THE GREAT CONVERSATIONVOLUME 2 : THE GREAT IDEAS : A SYNTOPICON I : ANGEL TO LOVEVOLUME 3 : THE GREAT IDEAS : A SYNTOPICON II : MAN TO WORLD VOLUME 5 : AESCHYLUS / SOPHOCLES / EURIPIDES / ARISTOPHANES VOLUME 6 : HERODOTUS / THUCYDIDES VOLUME 7 : PLATO VOLUME 8 : ARISTOTLE I (edge wear / chipping to top and bottom of spine)VOLUME 9 : ARISTOTLE II (edge chipping to bottom of spine) VOLUME 10 : HIPPOCRATES / GALEN VOLUME 11 : EUCLID / ARCHIMEDES / APOLLONIUS OF PERGA / NICOMACHUS (spine crease from use) VOLUME 12 : LUCRETIUS / EPICTETUS / MARCUS AURELIUS VOLUME 13 : VIRGILVOLUME 14 : PLUTARCH (crack along the side edge of front cover near spine) VOLUME 15 : TACITUS VOLUME 16 : PTOLEMY / COPERNICUS / KEPLER (corner wear / chipping to top and bottom of spine) VOLUME 17 : PLOTINUSVOLUME 18 : AUGUSTINE VOLUME 19 : THOMAS AQUINAS I VOLUME 20 : THOMAS AQUINAS II VOLUME 21 : DANTE VOLUME 22 : CHAUCER VOLUME 23 : MACHIAVELLI / HOBBES VOLUME 24 : RABELAIS VOLUME 25 : MONTAIGNE VOLUME 44 : BOSWELL VOLUME 45 : LAVOISIER / FOURIER / FARADAY (some edge wear to top of spine)VOLUME 49 : DARWINVOLUME 50 : MARX (corner crack to bottom of spine) VOLUME 51 : TOLSTOYVOLUME 52 : DOSTOEVSKY (some edge wear to bottom of spine) VOLUME 53 : WILLIAM JAMESVOLUME 54 : FREUD All volumes have no writing, underlining, highlighting, or other marginalia. The previous owner found it necessary to personally inscribed each and every volume in the series. His signature is located in the top right corner of the fly leaf of each volume. At least the signature is in black ink and is small, neat, and unobtrusive and hardly draws attention. I have included a picture of the inscription in one of the posted images, and the inscriptions in each volume are exactly the same, so you know what to expect. If you are curious about the contents of any particular volume, or if you require more photos of the set, please feel free to contact me. The set weighs about 60 pounds, so shipping comes in at $60.
