I obtained this book as a new release when it was published in 1988, and it has been stored for a long time. As this book was published over 35 years ago, there is aging, wear and tear, stains, and yellowing. Overall, I think it's in a condition that is commensurate with its age. This is just my personal opinion, and I think the perception may differ from person to person, so it's difficult to convey, but please check the images. The obi (paper band) and slip are included. It seems that there are some drop-shipping sellers who are selling my items on Amazon without permission. I've added the text "kokin Mercari" to the images as a countermeasure. The text is not on the actual product itself. I do not send greetings, thank-you messages, or shipping messages to buyers. Please refrain from requesting message sending. Please purchase directly (without asking questions). This item has been stored by a private individual. I have not checked the condition in detail. If you are concerned about the condition in detail, please purchase from other sellers. Shipping may not be possible on weekends, holidays, rainy days, or snowy days. Thank you for your understanding. #UsedBooks #OldBooks #FirstEdition #4PanelComic #YoshiroKato #kokin
