The books have been gently read and then stored away. The only big flaw is that is that prisoner of Azkaban has split a little by the middle . None of the pages are missing . There is some wear on the sleeves of the books and a little bit of dirts stains on 2 of the books . Other than that , a lot of the books pages are still pretty crisp since they were handled only a couple of times since the books came out about 23!years ago or more . All my items come from a smoke free and pet free home. If you have any questions please let me know and thank you for looking at my listings
