THE OBSERVERS BOOK OF AUTOMOBILES: Volkswagen, Mercedes, Rolls Royce

Description: 1955-1968 THE OBSERVERS BOOK OF AUTOMOBILES: Complete run from the very first one ever printed in 1955 to 1968 for a total of 14 books. Featuring makes and models on the covers as well as within from Volkswagen, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Porsche, BMW, Ford, GM and many others! Twelve of the books are in very good condition with one being in good condition and another being in fair condition (conditioning notes can be found at the bottom of this listing, also please refer to my extensive eBay images for your own satisfaction). NOTE: Due to max eBay image capacity I opted to show the first 5 books front and back cover and then individually the front covers of all other books while showing the back covers in the final standalone image for the remaining 9. If you would like to see additional pictures of these books before purchasing please feel free to ask at anytime! BONUS: Many of these books have small newspaper related clippings included in them (shown in pictures next to their edition if found). RARE METER: 10:10 - Scarce! Finding all of these in one listing as a complete run isn’t possible and probably Isn’t going to ever happen again. Finding all of them sold individually and in the condition that these are in (dust jackets and almost all in VGC) also extremely difficult to do. - Hardcover (ALL) - Dust Jacket (ALL) - First Edition (ALL) LANGUAGE: English PAGES: Varies (approx 260-300 each). MEASURES: 3.75” x 6” OBSERVERS AUTOMOBILE CONDITIONING (Listed below are conditioning notes pertaining to each book found within this listing): - [UC] UNIVERSAL CONDITIONING NOTES (“UC” means that the following notes may be found on each book): Year is time stamped to each on the spine as well as the front cover. Front cover year stamp stops after 1962. Dust jackets may have discoloration, yellowing, corner and edge wear (storage and shelf scuffing). Internal pages are nearly pristine and considerably white almost as if they have never been read. Some however may have slight, very minimal discoloration and minor edge bumping (corner rounding). I did browse through each book manually. Also detected that there are NO loose, ripped, torn, missing or written/highlighting marks on any pages at all! When books are closed some page edges may have dust, or light spotting on edges. Overall: VERY GOOD 1955 CONDITION: UC + Cover has severe discoloration and fading, spine has a gap from front and back cover - all pages are still intact, as is the cover, but it sits a bit off kilter as a result and pages will soon be at risk of coming loose as a result of the deprecation. Internal pages themselves are nearly pristine! Bright white, didn’t even notice a corner crimp or crease on any. Side spine dust jacket has small tear and is a bit wavy. Overall: GOOD 1956 CONDITION: UC + Cover front top left 1” tear. Overall: GOOD. 1957, 1959-1966 & 1968 CONDITION: UC ONLY applies to these years. All are in very good condition and only the general UC applies to these. Overall: VERY GOOD (most are probably closer to near mint condition honestly but I grade my items on a very strict scale to avoid potential variances of opinion especially on large lots where I cannot show the internal pages). 1958 CONDITION: UC + has a small tear back cover top middle 1/4” and front cover dust jacket top right tear. Overall: GOOD 1967 CONDITION: UC + Has more staining and discoloration than I would like to see on its spine and back cover. Overall: GOOD. SHIPPING: Fast & free via USPS (for USA). Will ship same day if payment is received by 3pm EST! Free returns! Shipped with care (cardboard backers, bubble wrap, peanuts & or double boxed whenever necessary).
