Cycling, 1905, 1911, 1912, 1915 & 1916.
The first two quarto hardbound volumes in dark green cloth with gilt lettering to the spines, which are worn and loose, appear to hold the complete 1905 issues from Vol. XXIX, No. 729, Jan 4, to Vol. XXX, No. 780, Dec 27; next is a very thick worn volume in the publisher's 'Cycling' binding, with issues from Vol. XLI, No. 1042, Jan 4, 1911, to No. 1066, June 28, 1911; then another volume in dark green cloth with issues from Vol. XLIII, No. 1094, Jan 3, 1912, to Vol. XLIV, No. 1145, Dec 26, 1912. The last three items are sprung-bound stamp albums holding uncollated issues (ex-library copies) from August to Dec 1915; Jan to June 1916, and July to Dec 1916. Apart from page-browning through age, the issues, all profusely illustrated, are bound with their covers and appear to be clean and sound. (7)
