This item was purchased new when it was published in 1985 and has been stored for a long time. As this book was published about 40 years ago, there is aging, damage, stains, and yellowing. The book itself is relatively sturdy, and I think it's in a decent condition considering its age. This is just my personal opinion, and I think the perception may vary from person to person, so it's difficult to convey, but please check the images. It seems that there are some unauthorized dropshippers selling my items on Amazon. I've added the text "kokin Mercari" to the images to address this. The text is not on the actual product. I do not send greetings, thank-you messages, or shipping notifications to buyers. Please refrain from requesting message sending. Please purchase immediately. This item has been stored by a private individual. I have not checked the condition in detail. If you are concerned about the condition in detail, please purchase from other sellers. Shipping may not be possible on weekends, holidays, rainy days, or snowy days. Thank you for your understanding. #UsedBooks #OldBooks #FirstEdition #4PanelComic #MasaharuInoue #kokin
