The slipcase has general wear (most notable at the corners - pic 3). The books have fading along the spines and a small stain on vol 1 (pic 6). There is also a small stain on one of the cloth ribbons (final pic). They are in otherwise good condition - the inside pages are clean and free of writing, folds and tears. The set will be well protected to prevent damage in shipment. Media Mail can take 2-3 weeks or more from Alaska.
