First editions, first impressions; 15 vols (complete); 8vo (194 x 138 mm); frontispieces and illustrations by George Brook, Bruno Kay, and Burgess Sharrocks, some with spotting to text block edges with the very occasional encroachment to a few page extremities, otherwise very good condition; publisher's pictorial cloth with lettering to boards and spines, unclipped dust-jackets, except for 'Three Cheers Secret Seven', no ownership or gift inscriptions (except faint pencil erasure shadow in two to be absolutely precise), some discreet closed tears and reinforcement to dust jackets but of note are losses to rear panel, spine extremities and upper flap fold of dust-jacket for Go Ahead Secret Seven, binding remains firm in each and every volume, remarkable preservation of colour to all dust-jackets, very good.
