Positives
-
Graded Good: All three books remain complete reading copies with firm covers and pages that are easy to read.
- I paged through the books and did not see torn pages.
- Volumes 4 and 5 showed no writing while being checked.
- The color and black and white illustrations remain clear and give the interiors much of their visual interest.
Issues / Wear
- The burgundy covers show rubbing and small areas of surface loss, especially along corners, spine ends, and edges.
- Page edges show age toning and yellowing.
- Volume 6 has pencil writing on the title area that appears to be an old price notation.
- The three books are only part of the larger Book Trails series, not a complete series set.
If you are looking for these particular Book Trails volumes, the matched red bindings make the three books easy to keep together on a shelf while the interiors are still very usable for reading.
