    February 23, 2009: Every book in the set was sent it perfect condition and had no physical damage at all. It is a great set for boys with a higher vocabulary than most, although there are handy footnotes that help you with most challenging words. They all have an outstanding storyline and are written by well known authors. If you are in to stories with a great storyline, great characters, authors, and plots, then you should purchase this book set. There is no better price out there for this many wonderful classical stories.
