I read "Happy Birthday" 2-3 times. There is damage to the outer corners and some creasing inside. I only read "My Baby" once or twice, but the page with the drawing at the very back was torn. I read "Nakayoshi Ittachi" about 5 times. There was creasing on one entire page. Also, the page with the drawing at the very back was torn. I've marked it as "no noticeable scratches or dirt" because it was read a few times. However, it has been stored on a bookshelf with other books for about 3 years, so there are minor scratches, dirt, and creases as described. Therefore, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues.
