This book was read once by my husband and then stored at home. It was stored in an open shelf, so the top of the book has dirt and stains. Please check the photos. The inside is relatively clean, but the first 2-3 pages have stains on the edges. There is no problem with reading it, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The obi (paper band) is also attached, but it is slightly torn. When a Man Decides From the International Financial World to the Mayor of Izumo By Tetsuto Iwakuni PHP Institute Published May 1992 Please purchase with the understanding of the condition.
