These two volumes feature an English-Sinhalese and a Sinhalese-English dictionary, both written by Rev. Charles Carter and published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., Ltd. in 1965. The edition is unstated. The books are in good condition overall, though the text blocks, covers, spines, pastedowns, and free-endpapers show some soiling. There's minor rubbing on the edges and corners. In the Sinhalese-English Dictionary, pages 57 and 59 are stuck together. The spines are detached from the text blocks, but the pages remain firmly bound. The dust jackets are in acceptable condition with edgewear, staining, and some tears with material loss.
To use these dictionaries, simply look up words in either English or Sinhalese to find their translations. When handling the books, be gentle as the spines are detached. Since the pages in the Sinhalese-English Dictionary are stuck together, try to separate them carefully to avoid tearing. To maintain the books, keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further soiling and damage. You can also use a soft brush to gently clean the covers and dust jackets occasionally.
