The Horn of Time has been rebacked, and has a tape repair to the first page. The front cover of Ensign Flandry is rather worn, as is the front cover of The Star Fox, and there is a small crease to the bottom corner of the front cover of The Avatar. Some very light wear to the head and tails of the spines, a little more so to the head of Byworlder, the head and tail of the Let the Spaceman Beware, and the tail of The Day of their Return. The Virgin Planet is a little worn at the joints. The front hinge of Orbit Unlimited is starting, but firm. Internally, firmly bound, except for Orbit Unlimited where the binding is slightly tender. Pages are clean throughout, and vary from bright to moderately age-toned. Very Good
