These books are in very good antique condition. They show wear commensurate with age and use. Condition issues include but are not limited to, partial spine separation, age spots, corner folds, hand inscriptions from grandma, possibly a missing page or two, insignificant tears, etc. For their age, and nature of being children's books, they've held up pretty well over the years. See photos. There are many neat pictures in these books, and we could not include them all, so there will be some fun surprises to whoever ends up with this collection. These books would be nice to keep intact, or they could be disassembled to make vintage framed displays, used for old-fashioned themed wallpaper or the perfect touch for scrapbooking! See less
