R.E. LEE Douglas Southall Freeman 1934 1935 1st Ed HC 4 Volumes DJ & Slip Cases

Description: Original glassine wrappers and slip cases. Vols III & IV marked with an "A" indicating first editions. Volumes I & II have no "A" mark. I have never found this set with ANY dust jackets, especially with their 2 slip cases. Absolutely collectible and a superb addition to your collection! The definitive biographer of Robert E. Lee spent 20 years researching and writing this magnificent and complete biography of the Confederate leader. It includes extensive records, letters, and memories never before included in Lee biographies. Enhanced with 89 illustrations on glossy paper and 96 maps. A four (4) volume set (Vols I, II, III, IV) published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1934 and 1935. Frontispiece of Lee. Foreword by William Byrd Park. Deckle fore-edges. Red cloth boards with letters in gilt on the front and spine. A nice set of hardcover books in near fine condition. Tight bindings. Appear to be unread. Pages are lightly tanned, dust jackets are torn, and slip cases have considerable wear, especially the one for volumes 1 and 2, which will require repairs. Original owner's name on the front free end-papers of each volume. Spine on Volume 4 has some light spots. See close-ups. Four volumes: 647, 621, 559, and 594 pages, respectively. Matching red cloth covers. See photos for the best description. Message me with any questions or if you require additional photos. Thanks for looking!
