Stored on a bookshelf in the living/dining area, so there is some yellowing and staining. This is a monumental work compiled by the author, who interviewed 5,000 people and actually visited over a thousand locations. Therefore, the information on some castles may be 10-20 years old compared to the first edition, but the place names are also from before the Heisei merger, making them easier to understand. Even if you say Toyota City now, it includes areas like Shimoyama Village and Inabu! I will only ship it in an envelope, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition.
