The handwriting 1 & 2, math 1 & 2, phonics 1 & 2, and English 2 have pages removed, but all pages are with the books, in order, without any markings. I started tearing them out for easier/faster copying. American history 1, our papa's world (2), science 1 & 2, spelling 1 & 2, and english 1 don't have actually any pages torn out. The only book with markings is the spelling 1 book. The spelling 1 book has writing in the back as envisioned. $80 for all 1st grade books or all 2nd grade books. $140 for all 1st and 2nd grade books.
