This is a set of 5 Books with Matching Book Covers. These were all published by the Illustrated Editions Company. I'm unsure if there are more books to this set or if this was even a series. The earliest book is dated 1930 and the latest is 1935. They're in very good condition, considering their age, with the exception of 2 books which have minor stains on the backs of their covers.
Four books are written on the inside of the cover with the name: Fred Fitzke, as belonging to him and that they were to stay in the "Service Building, in the City Hospital". I purchased these a few years ago from an very elderly lady here in Mesa who said they belonged to her husband, Fred.

* Candide by Voltaire ~ Illustrations by Mahlon Blaine ~ Copyright 1930 by Williams, Belasco & Meyers.
