Binding: The black cover shows some scratches, which are noticeable. Pages: No folds or writing. The listed condition is set based on the following criteria, according to our subjective assessment: [No significant scratches or stains] Only a few scratches or minor corner wear on the cover. [Slightly scratched or stained] Many scratches, significant creasing, or small tears on the obi (sleeve). [Scratched or stained] Large tears or stains. - Since these are used items, there may be minor scratches and signs of use. - Items will be waterproofed with plastic and shipped in a plastic envelope or cardboard box. - We do not have any pets.
