I purchased this textbook for a university class, and there is no writing inside. There is some minor soiling and creasing on the cover, but I believe it can be used without any problems. This textbook is for learning the basics of human resource management. Title: Human Resource Management from the Ground Up Authors: Yukihiro Nishimura, Tomoyuki Shimada, Yumi Nishioka Publisher: Isogakusha Price: 2,400 yen (excluding tax)
