Combined total of pages is 3840.
Horizontal shelf display measurements are 16" wide x 11 1/8" tall x 9" deep.

Hardboard covers are in good condition with very little wear. Bright covers, no fading. Volume 7 has a small scuff at the top of the front cover. All volumes with stable spines and tight bindings. Every page has been inspected and overall is in good condition with the exception being mostly clear moisture damp on the upper or lower portion of the pages, which has produced wavy crinkly pages, see photo 6. I don't usually list books with any type of moisture damp but this set is exceptional in it's content, beauty and the wrinkly pages do not detract from either. The only real issues in this entire 20 volume set are the moisture damp pages which include large portions of volumes 1, 12 and 17. No odors, no tears, no writing, no dog ears. Photos are taken in natural light.
