I have 14 paperbacks from the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell.  These are the stories brought to life on BBC by Sean Bean.

The first 9 listed are published by Penquin.  The second in their series would be Sharpe's Eagle, which is included in my stack.  As noted, Sharpe's Fortress has a few pages with a slight texture to them, indicating slight water contact at some point.  Actual reading pages & cover are fine.

The books were acquired used, but I do not detect pet nor smoke odors.  On a scale of 1-5 (5 being like new, 1 being ready to disintegrate), I would rate 12 of these books' condition as a 4, with Eagle & Fortress being closer to a 3.

 A very readable series - I glazed over on the tactics, but my husband said that's the part he really enjoyed about them.

I would like to send these out as a lot: 6 credits for all 14 books.

1    Sharpe's Rifles                            Spain, 1809         9780140110142  Penguin

4    Sharpe's Company                    Spain, 1812         9780140070231 Penguin

5    Sharpe's Sword                          Spain, 1812         9780140243048 Penguin

6    Sharpe's Enemy                         Portugal, 1812   9780140104301 Penguin

10 Sharpe's Revenge                      France, 1814       9780140084726 Penguin

Sharpe's Eagle                                   Spain, 1809         0451212576         (would be #2 in series)

Sharpe's Battle                                  Spain, 1811         9780060932282  Perennial

Sharpe's Tiger                                    India, 1799          9780060932305  Perennial

Sharpe's Triumph                             India, 1803          9780060951979 Perennial

Sharpe's Fortress                             India, 1803          0061012718         (slight water ripple to intro pages)

The order of the series may vary depending on the publisher: written date vs. historical date. Quite a lot to enjoy.
