<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 221952, member: 121&quot;]For over 50 years I have been carting around this inherited set of books (20 volumes):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65845[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65846[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65847[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65849[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The cloth bindings are getting ratty and there are a few water stains...........but the entire set - NOT ONE SINGLE VOLUME has been read! You know how I know that is a fact? </p><p><br /></p><p>This is how I know:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65851[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]65852[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Yep - the pages have never been cut...............every two pages are actually a single sheet, folded at the top or the bottom....................an average of 380 pages per volume, that means 190 &quot;cuts&quot; per volume, 20 volumes.............well, I could write the series before I got the pages cut....................there is no wonder about WHY these have never been read..........</p><p><br /></p><p>These were a &quot;gift&quot; to an ancestor who wrote some of the introductions, but I see NO market for these. They do have a few nice plates in each volume so I may retain those.................</p><p><br /></p><p>what a waste..................it was not a high end set to begin with, but still.................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
