Regarding the condition: Book 1, the Complete Works of Motojiro Kajii, is in beautiful condition but has a library stamp, and the cover is secured with transparent tape (see photos). Also, Book 3, by Hiroyuki Itsuki, shows some yellowing on the top and bottom edges due to being over 50 years old. The others are all believed to be in beautiful condition (personal opinion). However, please understand that these are used books. Please refer to the attached photos for details on the condition of the books and make your own judgment. They will be protected with a PP bag and cushioning material and shipped anonymously. In addition to these books, I also have CDs and books by Haruki Murakami, mainly novels and first editions, as well as tableware and women's wear, so please take a look if you're interested. I also offer combined shipping.
