<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 585318, member: 8267&quot;]2many&#039;s partner here, a bookseller. We&#039;d call those &#039;good&#039;. Others might rate them very good. They do not appear to have red rot, a problem of leather bindings of the period, which is good. French books at the time were usually sold in &#039;wraps&#039;, pretty much like a modern paperback, and the buyer would have their binder do them up to their taste &amp; budget. Thus, you are unlikely to find a third volume that matches. Further, it seems like the third volume is the most significant, which will hurt your value, but there should still be some interest in just the first two. As they were published at different times,&nbsp; it&#039;s entirely possible the original owner gave up before volume 3 was issued! Mathematicians as a group ARE interested in the history of their field, so there is certainly some demand for a work of this importance, though it will be harder to sell in the US because it&#039;s in French.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
