*Minor tears may have been repaired using non-reactive magic tape. Minor defects: names, annotations, ticks against titles, aren't listed. All pages of all hardbacks have been checked. More specific details on books will be cheerfully supplied upon request. DJs are those which came with the books; I don't claim that they are the correct jackets! "Recycled dj' refers to Oxford djs printed on recycled djs from other books (common around the late 1940s).
