Condition: Cover & spine wear noted around the edges. No writing, torn or missing pages noted. All books are tightly bound with no damage to the hinges. The spines are colored a bit differently on each one - this happens for two reasons - printing dates - since these were printed in different years, the material used is not an exact color match. The second reason can be fading caused by sitting on a sunny bookshelf for years. The rice paper protecting the illustrations in these books has been mostly removed, which seems to have been a common practice among this series as I hardly find editions with the rice paper still intact. There is a flag sticker on the inside cover of one book as shown in the photos.
Please be sure to view all photos as they are part of the visual description of these books.
