I have included photographs of two of the puzzles and have looked at each of the blocks. Only a very few have any noticeable paper loss, and none of the blocks have total loss to one side. There is some wear and soiling. The two puzzles I have pictured are typical. Please see the photographs, which can be enlarged and are part of the description . This will weigh about 10 pounds when packed for shipment and is too large for a flat rate box. Priority Mail to Australia would cost $71.00, to England $66.00 and to Canada $46.00.
