This item was kept in a glass display case in my great-grandfather's study. I am currently sorting through my great-grandfather's belongings. * This item was stored in a dark, glass-doored bookshelf in a room specifically used as a study by my great-grandfather. However, the top of the books has accumulated a thick layer of dust from the shelf above over many years. The bottom, sides, and contents of the books have some age-related staining, but as you can see in the photos, they are still readable. This is a complete set of Motoori Norinaga's complete works, Supplemented Edition, Volumes 1 through 12. I would like to sell this to someone familiar with old books.
