It sounds like the prospective buyer wanted to make certain that the lot did not contain the flashlight editions, which should be obvious just from looking at the picture. The buyer might also have wanted to make certain that the lot did not contain any of the early 1980s books with the double oval endpapers. It is obvious from the picture that the lot did contain some of those books. The upper edge of the text block is unstained for 13 of the pictured books. Those books are from the early 1980s, so they contain the double oval endpapers.
