Any major damage I've noted above. The worst thing about them is they have a strong musty/dusty smell to them, which is unfortunate. I think it's a little more than "old book smell". I see no writing anywhere in them but possible I missed something. No folded pages other than in the one book that I saw. They're all in good shape structure wise, bindings good, etc. I doubt most of them were ever read, or if they were read they weren't spread wide open and flattened. Some covers have slight wear on edges/corners, the worst ones I noted above, but most look good. Pages on some or all may be discolored due to age (slightly yellowed). Overall I'm probably being too picky on these, I think they're all pretty good, just smelly. These are very good reader copies at the very least!
