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.
All sets are in excellent condition, reflecting the high standards of The Folio Society, a publisher revered for its collectible editions. With the original matching slipcases intact, this collection is highly coveted among bibliophiles. Don't miss the chance to own these treasured historical insights!

Shipping:


Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.

All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
