I purchased this book used and have read it once. There is also a paperback version with the same title, but this is an out-of-print edition that includes stories not found in the paperback. There is almost no yellowing, and while there are some scratches and wear on the cover (see photos), I believe it is in very good condition, at least to the untrained eye. However, it is not in the same condition as a new book, so please consider this before purchasing. "Outside the Cage" #Onose Kihara
