I purchased this new from a shopping site and opened it a few times for reference. As you can see in the last image, there is a faint vertical line on the first page. It's not a crease, it was there from the time of purchase. Also, there is a scratch on the edge of the cover. Please purchase this item with the understanding that it is a used item that has been stored by an individual. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist or are concerned about minor details. It will be shipped in a waterproof package and then placed in a Nekopos-specific box. ◾️Instant purchase is OK. ◾️No price reduction will be offered.
