This auction features a remarkable collection of three distinct, multi-volume, slipcased book sets from The Folio Society. Each set is notable for its superb craftsmanship, with dimensions of approximately 10 x 8 x 7 inches. The collections include: 1. **Empires of Early Latin America** - Featuring 'The Maya', 'The Aztecs', and 'The Incas', this 3-volume set is bound in exquisite cloth with bright gilt lettering, housed in a blue slipcase that shows minor shelf wear but remains structurally sound. 2. **Byzantium** - A complete history encapsulated in three volumes, 'The Early Centuries', 'The Apogee', and 'The Decline and Fall'. This set shines with vibrant gilt designs, and while the orange volume may have faint spots, the black slipcase exhibits only light wear. 3. **Empires of the Ancient Near East** - Comprising 'The Babylonians', 'The Hittites', 'The Egyptians', and 'The Persians', this 4-volume set features excellent spine conditions adorned with bright gilt decorations, accompanied by a burgundy slipcase that presents minor rubbing at the edges.
