I purchased this as a used book. There may be scratches and scuffs. If you are sensitive to such things or are looking for a pristine item, please purchase a new one elsewhere. A DVD was included, but it was originally opened. I don't have the equipment to play it, so I haven't watched it. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet in a plastic bag and envelope. I will not use excessive packaging like wrapping it heavily with cushioning material.
