Condition:

Shows some signs of use. No inscriptions written in the booklets. After thumbing through each booklet there are no obvious signs of any markings. There are very few stains. The covers are still bright and colorful. The covers and pages are all intact. The binders have the title list of booklets hand written on the inside. The list includes a title that doesn't belong, but all 24 titles belonging to the set are present. The binders are sound with no repairs. The box has wear and some separation of the sides from the bottom but is still intact and no repairs. A great set of cook books in really nice condition.
