.....These 3 Micropaedias are not new, but in good shape. These are perfect for replacement books. There may be a few pages that are bent, like in book V (5). There is slight yellowing from age with a very slight musky smell. The binding is excellent, and the cover looks good. Even with minor wear around the edges. Look at all the photos for any reference. If you have any questions, just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
