This is a set of volumes 1-12 of "Royal Tutor Heine" and the official character book. I have read them a few times and stored them in a dark place. I purchased them several years ago, so there is some yellowing and staining. The contents of the books can be read without any problems. I don't see any other scratches or stains, but this is based on my personal assessment, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)✨
