This set includes two vintage French texts. The first one, 'A Review of French Grammar' by Andre Mesnard, was published by Harper & Row in 1967 and is in its second edition. The second, 'Conversational French One' by Rudolph J. Mondelli and Pierre Francois, was published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company in 1970, also in its second edition. The books are in good condition. They are ex-library books with the usual treatments, showing some rubbing on edges, corners, and spines, and slight soiling of text blocks. However, the bindings are tight and the interiors are clean.
These vintage French books are great for language learners. To use them, start by skimming through the grammar book to get an overview of French grammar rules. Then, practice conversational skills with the other book. When handling the books, be gentle due to their age. To maintain them, store them in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight. If you notice any loose pages, you can use some basic book - binding materials to fix them. Remember, these are ex - library books, so they may have some wear and tear, but that adds to their charm.
