Please consider this item with the understanding of the aging of used books. ☆☆☆ Disclaimer: The slipcase is not included in the sale. In fact, this book comes in a sturdy slipcase. There is no major damage, and the function of protecting the book is not impaired. However, there is considerable noticeable yellowing on the top and spine. There are tears and scratches on the top, spine, bottom, and sides. Therefore, the slipcase looks quite shabby compared to the main book. I am not including the slipcase in the sale because I don't want it to affect the overall evaluation of the book. If you still want the slipcase, please contact me when you purchase the book and request the "slipcase." I will then ship the book with the slipcase. ☆☆☆ Regarding the price: This is a large book of 882 pages, 4.6cm thick, and 5cm with the slipcase, so I have to use Yu-Pack size 60. Please understand that the price includes the shipping fee of 770 yen, the box fee of 110 yen, and the Mercari commission of 425 yen, totaling 1305 yen.
