The books bindings are all strong and intact with a few middle pages becoming loose. The books do show a lot of cover wear/creasing/staining with some chipping/flaking of some pages (see my pictures). None have missing pages but some are creased or have little rips. Please see all my pictures to gage condition despite their age as I tried to best capture their issues (also stated below). The pages do have aging/stains or browning. These come from a smoke free/pet free home. Keep in mind…these paper books ARE 50+-years old! These are great for reading and remembering the past. Definitely not collector quality. Very cool statistics and stories of boyhood heroes we watched on CBS, NBC, WGN, or ABC!
