The exterior is generally sun-faded, but I think it's still readable. I don't think there are any cutouts or writing, but I haven't checked every page, so please forgive any damage, including scratches. Please judge the details from the photos. I don't think this is suitable for those seeking a beautiful item for their collection. I hope that those who understand it as a used book will purchase it. #Yutaka Ozaki #Akiko Yano
