Most books in this collection are still wrapped in plastic, but there may be minor tears or small holes in the plastic due to handling and aging over the years. While they are sealed in plastic I would call them old- “new inventory”. There is signs of aging on the plastic for example but the books inside remains mostly untouched. 11 of the books are open and not in plastic at all. The opens ones are displayed in the last 3 phones lying on their spines. May be very minor wear such as indentations or pressing marks on books corners edges and covers due to handling over the years, but all books pages are either in good or new condition.
