Dombey and Son has an small return address label affixed onto the first (blank) page. Old Curiosity Shop has some notations (misspellings etc.) in red ink pen. The binding between the title pages and the preface has cracked. All three book pages are pretty normal coloring. Pages are not yellowed but aged with some fixing.

The actual color of the books is a deeper redder burgundy. A few of my pictures have color variations from my lighting. The darker pics represent to the books best.
