A collection of six books, likely from the mid-20th century or earlier, arranged on a wooden shelf. The leftmost volume is a large, dark blue cloth-bound book titled “St Michael 65 Great Tales of HORROR.” To its right, a slim, dark green book is partially visible with text “THE GORGON BOR…”. The central two volumes are uniformly bound in a worn, mottled brown material, possibly leather or imitation, titled “THE BRITISH ENCYCLOPAEDIA ILLUSTRATED” with “VOLUME 3 CHI-DUN” and “VOLUME 1 A-BEO” respectively. The two rightmost volumes are also “THE BRITISH ENCYCLOPAEDIA ILLUSTRATED” but are uniformly bound in dark blue cloth, labeled “VOLUME 7 LYR-PAP” and “VOLUME 2 BER-CHI.” Web intelligence reports suggest a market for similar period encyclopaedia sets, such as “The Children’s Encyclopedia” by Arthur Mee.
