.....These 3 World Almanacs are not new, but in decent shape. The 1929 Almanac was made in 1971 if you are wondering. Look at all the photos for any reference. .....The cover of each book has some scrapes, scratches, worn places, and a few bent marks. .....The binding of each book is ok except for maybe being on the weak side a bit. .....The pages are worn with yellowing from age. Each book has moderate to major musky smell. The pages have age spots in places, too. Maybe a few pages have been bent. I haven't seen any pen or pencil markings, though. .....Look at all the photos for any reference. If you have any questions, just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
