Greetings from the Heart of Texas! Most of my books are gently read children's books, and many are brand new. However, I occasionally have a book that has been donated from a student's home with a name or mark in it that I have missed. If it's important that your requested books be in like-new condition, please ask for me to double-check. I don't mind, and you will be assured of a lovely book. In addition, neither I nor my elementary aged students smoke, & I am sensitive to book smells, too.
