There are no major stains or tears that would hinder reading. However, some volumes are yellowed, and since I read these when I was a child, the cover of volume 16 has some stains. Also, I'm embarrassed to say, there is some scribbling on the first blank page of volume 16 (see the third photo). This doesn't affect reading the story in volume 16, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a collector's item or a perfect product. Furthermore, as far as I have checked, there are no other pages or volumes with writing or scribbling, but this is based on a visual inspection, so there is a possibility that I may have missed something. Due to the above, some price negotiation is possible. Please refer to the photos for the condition and understand that these are used items. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition.
