Full 12 volume collection of music reference materials from 1910, from the library of Hal Kinnaman- slack key guitarist and teacher of guitar and ukulele on Kaua'i (11 of 12 are stamped with his name & address inside the front cover). The volumes aren't numbered but they include: Operas Volume 1 and 2, Oratorio and Masses (out of print, most sets seem to be missing this book), Dictionary, Instruments, Essentials (which appears to be about music appreciation in society) Essentials Index (which is basics of music theory), a separate volume also on Theory, American Music, Foreign Music, and two volumes of Musical Biographies. The glue in the bindings is getting old so there are some conditions issues and the covers show damage from being used and well-loved. These are books that were likely used as reference materials for music teachers to help teach their students. Pages are in good shape and do not appear to have minimal markings (I found one pencil mark while thumbing through all the books looking for condition issues).
