This set has been carefully curated to exclude common defects found in Candy books, such as coloring, stickers, writing, scribbling, cutouts, and tape on the cover. We've selected volumes with minimal damage, and they are all the rare red-letter edition. Aside from some minor yellowing on the edges, this set shows no significant damage. Maintaining this condition ensures that when you decide to sell, you'll likely recoup your initial investment (break even) or even make a profit, given the supply and demand. For a Candy collection of this caliber, any smart girl wouldn't hesitate to buy it. This is a must-have item for anyone who loves Candy!
