Purchased from a used bookstore. Please understand that this is a typical used book. The obi (paper band) may be in worse condition than it appears in the photos. For comics and paperback novels, up to 4 books can be shipped together. Depending on the item, it may be possible to include more, so please feel free to inquire. If you would like to combine shipping, please let me know in the comments. I will offer a discount for the combined shipping cost.
