I have a ten-volume set and I'm trying to find out a bit more about it. Unfortunately it has no publication information. The translator's forward, by Burton, is dated "Wanderer's Club, Auguest 15, 1885," so that's a minimum date. The books have red covers with gold "foil" on the top, it might have also been on the back and sides but it doesn't look like it. The covers are approx 9 1/2 by 6 1/4, each book is approx 350 pages.

Does anyone know anything about my set? I can possibly post some pictures later, if you want to see a specific aspect of the book let me know.
