The books are in pretty decent shape. The covers and first pages are curved due to how they were stored, as they had just been sitting on a shelf for a while. Other than that, everything else inside is in good condition. In the Python book, there are tiny amounts of highlighting, all of which are in the pictures. In addition, the top of the first page seems to be parting slightly from the center (see picture) There’s no other writing, folds, or tears everywhere else in both books. Overall, the books are ready to officially be used.
