There is yellowing due to aging. The damage on the top edge of the first volume appears to be from when the remaining folded binding was removed during the binding process, and it seems it wasn't removed cleanly. Other than that, the condition is good, and I think it's in a clean state. I have taken photos to show the condition of the book as much as possible, so please take a look.
