Introduction to the Double Bass, More About the Double Bass and Looking at the Double Bass (three volumes) by Raymond Elgar. Stephen W. Fillo (publisher). All stated, "First U.S. Printing 1987" except 'Looking' which says, "First U.S. Printing 1986". 5 1/4" x 7 3/4" Hardcovers with no dust jacket. THe three volumes add to 476 pages. Brown cloth covers with gilt lettering on front covers and spines. 'Introduction' and 'More' have bright gilt. "Looking' has slightly faded gilt. All have light cover edge wear. All have lightly tanned paper that has no effect on paper flexibility. I think this is as originally published. 'Looking' has white paper in the majority of the book. All books have no previous owner markings. No tears, folds or creases to pages. Bindings are tight with no looseness to pages. Not ex-library, not remaindered and not a facsimile reprint. For sale by Jon Wobber, bookseller since 1978. HL18a
