See photos. All look to be in excellent condition, though Volume Five and Six does appear to have a slight blemish on its cover. Includes Volume Four - 1991, Volumes Five & Six - 1995, Volume Seven - 1997, Volume Eight - 2001. Nice collectible books. A paper from the editor detailing a printer error with a front-piece plate having been inadvertently interposed with another is in volume eight (see photos). Perhaps this adds value and increases rarity of this particular volume eight. Books on the "art and the sword" focus on either the artistic craftsmanship of blade-making, historical techniques of swordsmanship, or specific fantasy novels.
