On offer a rare edition of the Harvard Classics. In 1910, Collier began printing The Harvard Classics in a limited quantity set called the Renaissance edition. This beautifully bound set includes 10 different bindings consisting of reproductions of the artistic bindings of Royal Monarchs of Europe from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. There are ten different colors, five of each of the total 50 volume set. This set is in overall good condition, with some volumes showing more spine fading than others, hinges solid, gilt top edge intact with minimal wear. Minor shelf wear to the heads of spines. A rarity with this set is a mis-color print of Volume 40. That volume should have been in the dark olive color and cover design that normally includes 36, 27, 38, 39 and 40. This set has the rare misprint where volume 40 is the tan color and cover design reserved for Volumes 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45. Only 1000 sets of the Renaissance Edition were printed. The number of sets with this mis-color mistake is unknown. Price includes fully insured shipping via UPS Ground to the lower 48 states, USPS Media Mail to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and all other US territories.
