Thank you for viewing this product page. After purchasing this item new, I have read it a few times and stored it on a bookshelf. There is no noticeable sun damage or tearing. The item is in good condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor folds or scratches. A must-read bible for marine engineers. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect product, have any concerns, or are particular about minor details. *Please assess the condition of the product based on the images. *Please understand that the price includes shipping. #Engineer #Marine #HideakiSugita #Ship
