Purchased online, I only flipped through it for inspection. There is almost no dirt or damage inside or out. There is a slight smell typical of old books. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I plan to ship via Letter Pack. I will notify you if there are any changes. - Title: Hitachi Mine History - Cover Color: Navy Blue - Binding: Cloth Price negotiations are possible, but as this is an expensive book, it will only be a small discount. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for looking.
