Mr Love and Justice has a review slip loosely inserted. Near fine copies in very good unclipped dust jackets. *** City of Spades: dust jacket chipped to spine ends and with one tear along upper spine fold. Absolute Beginners: dust jacket a little chipped to head of spine and discreetly retouched to reverse; creased to head of lower panel. Mr Love and Justice: slight foxing to top-edge of text block; dust jacket a little scuffed and chipped to spine ends, creased to head of upper panel. *** All in all a very attractive set of these landmark novels about London youth culture in the late 1950s.
