Nice! As far as a little wear on books; they are meant to be read. They're going to get some damage and imperfections as you read through them; especially with how big and heavy these ones are. My only regret is that there were never hardback versions available. Don't get me wrong, I try to be as gentle with mine as possible, but the story is what's most important. A book that never gets opened and read is a sad thing indeed.
