All books were purchased at bookstores and have been read several times before being stored. The earlier volumes show some discoloration due to age, and the obi (paper band) on volumes 9 and 16 has some sun damage on the spine. Otherwise, they are in good condition with no noticeable damage that would hinder reading, but there is some inevitable aging due to the nature of paper.
