This set is for the 12 volume OED set and the 4 supplement volumes. The main dictionary is in good condition. There is no writing and the pages are still clean. The supplement volumes are more worn with some yellowing; however, they are clean inside and not written on. The covers of the OED are nice but the covers on the supplements are a bit torn. I have used some tape on some of them. This is very heavy so I will have to ship in 3-4 boxes. The cost is included in the price.
