.....These books are not new, but was part of a library's collection. They took care of them, but these books are not perfect. Look at all the photos for any reference. .....The dust jackets have scrapes, scratches, and a few rips in places. .....The cover of each book is in decent shape minus some minor wear or bending of the corners. .....The pages have yellowing, and spots from age. There may be a slight musky smell as well. Some of the pages might be bent. I haven't seen any writing in the books myself, not saying there isn't any. .....The binding is in excellent condition. Look at all the photos for any reference. Have a great day, and God bless.
