I purchased this book, put a book cover on it, and read it once at the end of the year. There is no tobacco smell. There are a few dents on the cover and the beginning pages from when I received it, but the inside is in perfect condition, just like new★ "The 52 Hertz Whales" Sonoko Machida Price: 740 (excluding tax) ■Important Notes This item has been handled by a person, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items.
