While there are some signs of wear and tear, I think it's in pretty good condition overall. I don't think there are any stains or tears on the cover or inside pages. I apologize if I missed anything. Volume 2 only has a torn and worn cover. It has a clear book cover on it. I will reuse moving boxes for shipping. I will double-bag it in plastic and wrap it in bubble wrap before shipping. I will ship within 24 hours.
