Folio Society Chronicles of King Arthur - Sir Thomas Malory FIRST PRINTING set

Description: This set is a TRUE FIRST PRINTING/FIRST IMPRESSION. The last picture is to show that. At the bottom, it would say "Second Impression," for example, above "Printed in Great Britain" These books and their slipcase are in NEAR MINT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates, and VERY minor wear. The only real flaw is a couple of pages at the beginning of the 3rd book have a few creases. Folio Society books are constructed using only high-quality materials with uncompromising methods by masters in bookmaking. All are wonderfully illustrated on gorgeous paper with deep fonts. For most people who are only familiar with generic Chinese-manufacturered, mass-produced books, the obvious quality difference is instantly revelatory. The wavy effect that may appear in multiple pictures is only "moiré pattern". It occurs when a scene or an object that is being photographed contains fine, repetitive details that exceed sensor resolution. As a result, the camera produces strange-looking wavy patterns. It is simply an effect and doesn't exist on the book in real life.
