.....These books are not new, but they were library books. Some of them look like they have never been opened except when the library marked the books. Look at the photos for any reference .....The covers of the softback books are bent around the edges. The hard and softback books have some scrapes and scratches, too. .....The binding of each book is very sturdy. They seem like they were hardly open. Look at all photos for any reference. .....The pages look decent without age spots or yellowing of the pages. Though, as I mentioned before, the library marked in the books. Some of the pages are bent, plus there may be dirt spots around the edges. .....If you have any questions, just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
