All volumes except the first are first editions (an astonishing 91% first edition rate). The second photo is taken from above. They have been stored in a closet, but there is some yellowing of the paper. I purchased all volumes new and have put clear covers on them. I believe the condition is good, but as they have been handled by a person, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition. In my subjective opinion, the condition is relatively good, and since all but the first volume are first editions, I believe they have a certain rarity value. Because they are mostly first editions, they have rarity value, and I have set the price higher than others.
