Volume IV and V have a gap in pagination, though, all opening pages appear to be present. Volumes have been inspected and appear to have all pages and plates, but, because of their loose binding, there may be missing sections. Large portions of the volumes remain unopened. Text and plates remain dark and detailed. All volumes suffice as reading and research copies and remain rebinding candidates. Approximately 12lbs.
