Description
1953 The Columbia Viking Desk Encyclopedia set of 2. made by The Viking Press New York, USA. Taupe gray with black and gold colors. Published in 1953. Both books are in good antique lightly used condition. Good binding, leather covered hardcover books. A-K and L-Z complete two-piece desk set. The pages edging is red on top I assume that they are made that way for display, side and bottom are the paper interiors color. Convenient compact midcentury collectable desk set of two. No torn pages, no writing, for the age them I would grade them as excellent. Interior cover has colorized world maps. Flaws are pointed out in the photos with arrows.Great gift idea to the reference book collector, or even still usable, but more for antique display, home library additions. Very well made. Natural pages edges have a handmade paper look to the opening side. Impressively compact. Each measure 8-1/2 in x 5-3/4 in x 2 in.
