This set features volumes with minimal damage, such as coloring, stickers, writing, scribbles, cutouts, or tape on the covers, which are common defects in Candy books. The set is unified with the rare red-letter edition. Aside from slight yellowing on the edges of the pages, there is no significant damage. If maintained in this condition, it's highly likely that you'll at least break even (read for free) or even profit (read for free + profit) when you sell it in the future, considering the supply and demand. Any smart girl wouldn't hesitate to buy this class of Candy books. This is a must-have item for those who love Candy!
