Please refer to the image on the table of contents page. There is a circular mark on the bottom left of the cover, as shown in the image. This also affects the gravure section. The mark is visible depending on the viewing angle and lighting. There is also a wrinkle on the top right of the cover. This may be from the binding process, but it also affects the gravure section. I haven't noticed any other major damage, but please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. It will be shipped in an envelope only. Immediate purchase is welcome.
