Purchased at the theater and stored at home after reading once. As I am unsure of collectors' standards, I would appreciate it if those who are overly concerned about condition would refrain from purchasing. There may be minor scratches on the cover and spine that are not discernible in the images. I have attached an image of one area of concern (image 3). Please understand that this is a home-stored item and has been kept by a non-professional. I will take thorough measures to prevent water damage and folding when shipping.
