These books come from a single source and are essentially new. Most appear to have never been read. The exception being Death on the Nile which has a crease on the cover near the spine from reading. It appears to me it was the only book in this selection that was read. All the rest are in great shape. None have any writing or owner marks. There may be very minor signs of shelving, but nothing worth mentioning. A good buy for yourself or a gift for a Christie fan. These books are very similar to what you will find new in bookstores today. Some of the books indicate a 2013 printing, though I did not check them all.
