There are fine scratches, and there is some sticking between the books, as well as yellowing, stains, and sun damage due to aging. There are no cutouts or tears, but as this belonged to my mother, there may be oversights due to amateur inspection. Please understand that this is an old item and purchase it with the understanding of age-related deterioration. For those who love it, and for those who will cherish it. It will be shipped in a recycled cardboard box. #Takarazuka #TakarazukaRevue #Performance #RoseofVersailles #TakarazukaGraph #Collection
