Photo is of a previous set. Leather is shedding. Pages have light tanning with instances of light marks, smudges and foxing. In both volumes, foxing appears to be fairly miminal throughout; pages remain bright. The mammoth two-volume set of this history and biography of Berks County, Pennsylvania. About one-quarter of the set contains historical essays; the rest is left to biographical profiles of many of the residents and historical figures of the county. It is said that compiler and lawyer Morton L. Montgomery issued questionnaires in order to acquire the information and that he did not confirm any of the genealogical details on his own. Still, this is a tremendous resource for historians and genealogists alike, and in good enough condition that it would be a welcome asset to any local history library, private or public.
