This set is two books: (1) The Discourses of Epictus This book is faux leather covered and the cover is written and decorated in gold. It’s a very beautiful book. They don’t make them like this anymore. (2) Greville’s England: Selections from the diaries of Charles Greville This book has beautiful art and drawings in the inside - see pics. These books are just gorgeous and look brand new. Very vibrant colors. Both books are hard covered.
