.....These heavy duty books are not new, but in good shape overall. .....Both books binding is in great shape. The Intermediate Algebra book has a slightly weaker binding but is still very good. .....Both books pages are in great shape. There is no yellowing from age that I have seen. A few pages might be bent. Look at the photos for any reference. .....The cover of both books is good. They might have a few dents, scratches, scrapes, and marks from being scooted, though. .....Overall great books, just look at the photos for any reference. If you have any questions, just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
