I purchased this at a bookstore. I haven't used it since I bought it, and it's been stored on a bookshelf. I've kept it for several years since I bought it, so there's a slight bend on the top of the book, as shown in the second photo. I've also included photos from other angles, so please take a look to avoid any issues. I've been careful to store it so that it doesn't get any scratches or bends, but it has been in someone else's hands once. I've listed it as new and unused, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to minor imperfections, as it has been stored by a private individual.
