No odors, comes from a pet and smoke free home and stored in a dry cool environment. 

Binding is stiff and tight similar to a new book. 

I, the seller, am the original owner. The book(s) look much as they did when I took them out of the shrink-wrap. Never read, just displayed on a bookshelf. 

As these are more valuable books and may be considered collector's items, I only ship in a sturdy box with good packaging. 

Note the following imperfection(s):

Small scuff on edging (see pictures). It was there right from the factory as a new book, I did not deem it significant at the time. But please view the pictures and factor in to your purchase decision.
