The price for set 1 is $275.00 and set 2 is $325.00, both for $525.00. I am
willing to sell single volumes, however, to hinder splitting up either set the
price per volume is expensive. Volumes in mint condition are $60.00 each, in
excellent condition $50.00 each and in very good condition $45.00. Deduct
$5.00 from the single price for each missing plate. Futhermore, I will not
finalize any single/multiple sales until I have cover the set prices.
All prices are in U.S. $ and do not include postage, etc. For more info pls.
e-mail your questions. I will respond asap.
