This is a rather old item, so there is considerable fading and other wear. I believe it should not hinder your ability to read it. Volume 9 has come unglued. (Images 6, 7, 8) Volume 15 has a crease. (Image 9) Please consider and purchase only if you understand that this is a used book. *Please note that we will use simple shipping: a waterproof bag + filler + cardboard box.
