This item was previously purchased by my daughter from this site. Regarding the condition, there is noticeable staining on the cover, likely from sun damage, as well as dents, present at the time of purchase. There is some noticeable soiling on the edges of the pages, and the wax paper also shows some damage. The rest of the contents do not have any noticeable stains or damage. As for shipping, due to the size and weight exceeding the limits of Yu-Packet Plus, I will be shipping via Letter Pack Plus. Please understand this.
