This item was purchased new upon its publication in 1992 and has been stored for a long time. As this book was published over 30 years ago, there is aging, wear, dirt, yellowing, and stains. The book itself is relatively sturdy, and I think it's in a decent condition considering its age. This is just my personal opinion, and the impression may vary from person to person, so it's difficult to convey, but please check the images. It seems there are some unauthorized dropshippers selling my items on Amazon. I've added the text "kokin Mercari" to the images as a countermeasure. The item itself does not have any text. I do not send greetings, thank-you messages, or shipping notifications to buyers. Please refrain from requesting message sending. Please purchase directly (without prior inquiry). This item has been stored by a private individual. I have not checked the condition in detail. If you are concerned about the condition, please purchase from another seller. Shipping may not be possible on weekends, holidays, rainy days, or snowy days. Thank you for your understanding. #UsedBooks #OldBooks #FirstEdition #4PanelComics #ShoTanaka #kokin
