I would grade most of these as a solid VG, and a few sliding toward VG/F.

The good news is that all 10 are solidly held together.  You can hold these, and page through them,
and not feel like they're going to come apart.  Pages are solidly attached at the staples, all centerfolds present.
No pieces missing, nothing clipped out.

Paper quality is good - off white.  No brittleness at all - pages are supple.

The covers have no pieces missing.  Yes, there's some paper loss and a few holes here and there, but
overall the covers have a lot of eye appeal.

The bad news:

There's a moderate amount of "paper loss" on several book's front and back covers.

NOTE: By paper loss, I mean: small areas where the top layer is gone.  Like a tape pull.  It's not
a hole through the paper (although there are a few of those).  Not sure what causes them.  Insects?

Assorted corner creases, some places with edge damage to the cover (V 3, N 11 is probably the worst).

There is writing on a few of the covers.  Looks like "Little Jimi Holder" owned some of these.
If you're looking forward to doing the crossword puzzles, too late.  Someone beat you to it.

I've tried to show the worst of these in the pictures at the end of this post.  Here's a verbal
description of the books.

Vol 3   Num 6
    Has the second (and final) part of the story Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

    "The little dwarts were very happy as they watched her ride off beside her Prince, to his Castle
    of Dreams, because they knew it was her dream come true."

    Paper loss on upper right side of FC.  Staples are solid, crease on lower right FC.

Vol 3   Num 9
    Spine is split about a half inch on top, and about 1/4 inch on bottom.
    Top staple is coming loose, paper loss on lower FC, and lower BC.

Vol 3   Num 11
    This is probably the roughest copy of the bunch.  Bit of paper gone on bottom of FC, plus paper loss (like
    a tape pull) on bottom corner of FC.   A smear of something across the top of the BC.

Vol 4   Num 1
    Spine is a bit rough, with paper loss at one spot on spine near top staple.  Book lays flat, but still has some spine roll.

Vol 4   Num 3
    Paper loss on right side of FC.
    Name and address written on cover in ink.
    "Little Jimi Holder" in Fayetteville, GA.

Vol 4   Num 4

    Rough around top staple.

Vol 4    Num 7a  (Mama and baby duck)
    Small stain on lower left FC, dark staining around bottom staple, staining on lower BC.

Vol 4    Num 7b  (Goofy fishing) Yes, there are two number 7s.
    Paper loss on upper right FC, crease on bottom BC.

Vol 4    Num 8
    Staples are solid, paper loss on lower BC,  two spots of color loss on FC.
    Nice eye appeal, FC corners are nice.

Vol 4    Num 9
    Cover features a nice pic of Mickey solo - lot of eye appeal.
    FC has several small spots of paper loss.  Several spots on lower BC have holes though the paper.
