The (3) softcovers book set are in the original slipcase.

Also included is a numbered auction form.
All three books are clean, in very good condition and from a smoke free home.
The slip case has some light shelf wear, as seen in the pictures (of each side of hard case).
The set has The Public Collections, one showing The Personal Collections. There is also a smaller soft cover booklet titled Information.
A lovely set just for the historical value.
