These are antique books and it does show with several minor flaws throughout the collection including side color markings, creases, scuffing and front cover flaws/marks on books 6, 9 and 10 covers. All pages intact for all books, all have pretty solid bindings/spines with crisp and clean pages overall - no writings or markings. There is no obvious major damage that I could find. Overall a very nice collection, looking good. See pictures for condition. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Amazon.com Review5.0 out of 5 stars A lifetime of learningReviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014The Great Ideas Program is unfortunately out of print, so if you see it listed, snap it up because it is well worth your money. Made to accompany the original edition of the Great Books of the Western World and meant to be a detailed expansion/alternate of its Ten Year Reading plan. The Program can also be used with the new edition, or with translations of the books purchased separately, with a little adaptation. The Program offers introductions, historical context and ties to other Great Books and authors. As it is divided topically, it can also be used for a focused course of study. The authors present in each volume 15 works to be read and studied over 2 weeks each, finishing with a list of questions to verify your understanding of the work. Beyond an education, this Program is an experience in immersing yourself in some of the Greatest works of the human mind.
