| The following series of 5 titles is a development of the earlier successful and popular Batsford series, incorporating subsequent developments in the art. The later titles have become increasingly rare to a point where a number of experts were of the opinion that Vol. 5 was a “phantom book”, i.e. planned but never actually completed or published. But here it is – a rare collector’s piece. All large format HB with attractive pictorial covers. |

This is a matching set in red bound cloth with gilt titling. From the library of the late R. A. Slade, former champion of the West of England and several counties. All in identical condition, in German. We are hoping to keep the set together for a price of £50.00 |
