Omnia: Pratique de Locomotion. 12 quarto hardbound volumes in mixed bindings, comprising an incomplete run from the 1st year of issue, 1906, to the 8th year, 1913. The missing volumes are those for 1907, the second half of 1910, and the first half of 1913. The complete years are each in two volumes, those for 1906 (spines repaired), 1908, 1909 and 1913, being in rubbed quarter-leather binding with marbled boards (Vols. 1908 Part 2, 1909 and 1913 Part 2 are ex-lib copies from the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain), whilst the 5 volumes for 1910, 1911 and 1912 are in modern black cloth with gilt lettering to the spines. The weekly issues are bound without their covers, but each volume has a title pages and there are indices at the front of each year's first part. The volumes are well illustrated with monochrome photographs and text figures, and the volume for 1906 also includes some full-page chromolithographic plates. The contents of the volumes appear to be generally clean and sound. (11)
