III-XVII Shammar Edition No. 291/1000.  The Bassorah Edition volumes are about 1/16 inch taller than the others, and since they are older they are slightly more soiled and the gilt is more rubbed on the top edges.  Other than that, the bindings are the same - plain tan cloth with aged paper paste down labels on the spines, top edges gilt, and other edges rough.  Volume I has satin tape on inside hinges. There are no inscriptions or bookplates present, internally very clean. Bindings are very solid.
