This is an authentic copyright 1960 set of the Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary of the English Language, unabridged. For being a 65-year-old reference set it is in great condition. All pages binding and covers are intact with no rips or tears. books like this also provide a unique time capsule or gift for someone born that year. note a couple of these sample entries for computer and camera. the set is exactly as pictured with normal wear and tear and some fading on the front cover. also note the unique alphabetical thumb tabs which no longer exist. these were the original internet bookmarks :-)
