Two of his best books! The first one is paperback, and shows the most wear: creases on front and back from flipping through it, ripped, taped, and ripping again at the the bottom of the spine, and the color even has been worn off the edges. The inside has a few flattened dogearred parts as well. The second (hardcover) also has its share of wear, the dust jacket shows the typical scuffs and nicks, as well as some deeper scratches on the back and a large bend at the top, and the bottom of the spine of the jacket has a little piece ripping off. Also some minor staining on the edges of the pages.
