40 Volume set of The Yale Shakespeare books in blue cloth. Edited by Wilbur L. Cross, Tucker Brooke, and Willard Higley Durham. Published under the direction of the Department of English at Yale University. There is some sun damage to the spines that have caused the gold lettering to fade. They are all pretty dusty as well, with some splotching on the edges of the pages. There is oxidation to the pages, but no water damage except on 3 of the covers (of which there is no damage on any pages). The spines of each book are fairly sturdy, with none having any loose pages. There is one book with minor damage to the cloth spine.
