I have erased the names with an eraser and covered them with white masking tape. My child prefers picture books to encyclopedias, so they haven't read them much since bringing them home. (They were read once at kindergarten, and some were read a few times at home) There are no tears, stains, or scribbles, but there are some minor scratches and page-turning wrinkles here and there. "Uchi no Sukiyaki," which is available for swapping, has creases on the front and back covers from storage. They will be put together in a plastic bag and shipped in a Yu-Packet Post-sized box. Please consider purchasing only if you understand that they have been stored at home.
