The Papers of Benjamin Franklin
edited by Leonard W. Labaree, Whitfield J. Bell, Jr., Helen C. Boatfield and Helene H. Fineman, William B. Willcox, et al
New Haven: Yale University Press
1960-1978
Volumes 1 through 21: January 6, 1706 - December 31, 1775
(Volume 44 appears to be slated to be published in January 2024, covering through July 1785)
Condition: Hardcovers; all but volume 1 are ex-library with all the usual issues: stamps, stickers, although many of the bookplates in the front and library pockets have been removed, leaving a yellowish residue. Volume 1 is stated as a second printing, others appear to be first printings. Volume 6 does have a faint staining to the page edges, bleeding onto the fore-edges of the front section. Otherwise interiors are clean and neat. Cover boards are quite attractive in themselves. Bindings remain firm.
