Classic Black Leather Bound Book Collection of Hardcover Works by Noted Authors

Black leather bound, low-relief imprint of “B” & “S” encased in scrollwork on front cover. Fairly good condition, some wear, pages appear yellowed, but I believe this was the kind of paper hue they were using. These books were owned by my dad & all have his signature, James Buchanan, on the flyleaf.
