Thank you for viewing. This is a set of two books and I am not considering selling them separately. I am sorry, but I am not accepting price negotiations. Thank you for your understanding. There are no writings or tears, but there are scratches, stains, and dents. I have taken pictures of some of the areas of particular concern, so please check the images (not all are shown). For those who understand that this is a used item and are comfortable with its condition, thank you for your consideration. I have inspected the items, but it is a personal inspection. The price is set with the understanding that there may be minor oversights. If you are concerned about the details, please refrain from purchasing.
