Purchased new. I think it was over 35 years ago. I apologize for being vague. I have stored it carefully, so I think it's in good condition for its age, but this is my personal opinion. I don't notice any discoloration, but some people might, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. This is an item that has aged over time. I think the corners are also in good condition, but they are not perfect. As it is from that time, it also has a unique smell like an old book. During inspection, I noticed spots of blue, red, white, etc. on the front and back covers, and throughout the item. I thought they might be peeling or stains, but they were present on both sides, so I thought they might be part of the original design, but this is also my personal opinion. Please refer to the images. ★I have not checked every detail, nor have I looked at each page individually, so please forgive any oversights. ★All checks, measurements, judgments, etc. are based on my personal opinion.

I use newspaper in the margins as cushioning, please dispose of it. ※This is a long-term storage item, and I am an amateur in inspection.
