22 octavo vols. Variously paginated. Scribner's began issuing their enormous set of Stevenson's literary works only a year after his death in 1894. To the initial group of sixteen were added six others, present here, which expanded the offering to include correspondence, articles, and sketches. Another four would follow later. Here all bound identically in half red morocco with marbled paper over boards, spines in six compartments with thistles gilt-stamped to four and titling in gilt to other two. Lower and fore-edges uncut, upper edges gilt. Stray rubs to corners. Morocco of later volumes of a darker red than the others, but all nevertheless harmonious and showing only pale sunning, and this uniformly. Interiors all brilliant. A near fine, stately set. May incur additional shipping charges.
