Lot 76: A Group of Vintage Hardcover Books Including Household Encyclopedia

A group of vintage hardcover books featuring a primary volume titled HOUSEHOLD ENCYCLOPEDIA. The volumes are constructed with cloth-covered boards, with the uppermost book finished in a faded red cloth and the title printed in black block lettering. Two adhesive labels are affixed to the front cover of the lead volume: one printed white rectangular label reading SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS LOT 360 and 01132502626, and a second smaller white rectangular label with the handwritten characters 12708 D. The stack contains several other volumes with variously coloured spines, including dark green and maroon. The construction shows traditional sewn bindings typical of mid-20th-century reference works.
