This set is very well suited for the most serious collector or museum. And what is also included is over 1000 hand written index cards indexing the entire collection. They are all alphabetized. Just look up a subject, title, manufacturer, artist, designer, model, make or whatever, and the index cards will show you what volume and page to find the info you are looking for. (See photo of index cards). All these book were kept in excellent condition. See the photo of the first 7 volumes edges and you can see that they are nice and crisp.They date back to 1962 ( the very first issue). I would really like to see these find a nice home. I will ship these to the 48 U.S. states only via UPS- Ground. They do weigh 237 pounds in five boxes, so it won't be cheap.Winner pays actual shipping. But it will be worth it as a set as complete as this is hard to come by in one complete lot. Of course local pick up on Long Island, New York,11727 is more than welcomed.
