Vintage NZ Official Year-Book Set (1910, 1912, 1920) - 3-Volume Card Cover Lot

Up for sale is a 3 volume lot of historical New Zealand Official Year-Books from 1910, 1912, and 1920.
Unlike the cloth editions, these are the rarer original soft card-cover variants issued by the government printer. They offer a fascinating look at New Zealand just before the outbreak of the Great War, and the immediate dawn of the 1920's.

Condition Report (Fair / Reading Copies):
These volumes show significant age, handling, and shelf wear. They are heavily foxed (age-spotted) and marked throughout, but remain highly valuable historical reference material.
• 1910 Volume: The card spine is torn and frayed. The rear cover has a heavy crease and physical damage.
• 1912 Volume: Structurally sound, but the front free endpaper (the very first blank page inside the cover) has been historically removed.
• 1920 Volume: Features a previous owner's inscription written on the front outer cover, along with surface abrasions to the paper on the rear cover.

Ideal for a researcher, local historian, or collector looking for affordable reading and reference copies of these early twentieth-century editions.
