.....These books are not new, but was in a pastors library. Each books dust jacket has scrapes, scratches, and tears. The pages look great except maybe a little yellow from age. Also there is a mild musky smell, too. I didn't see any writing when I was looking through the books. The edges of all books covers might be slightly worn. Look at the photos for any reference. If you have any questions just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
