The top, bottom, and fore edge of the book are sun-damaged, and the pages as a whole also appear to be sun-damaged. Although the pages are sun-damaged, there are no page folds or writing, and the contents can be read normally. There are no problems with reading it. In this '79 Pro Baseball Opening Preview Special Issue of Weekly Baseball, Manager Nagashima stated in an exclusive interview that he would have pitcher Suguru Egawa pitch against pitcher Shigeru Kobayashi in the Giants-Hanshin game, even though Egawa's pitching debut was postponed to June. The color gravure at the end of the book features continuous pitching photos of Taiyo's ace, Masaji Hiramatsu, known for his razor-sharp slider, and Michitake Takahashi reveals his hobby of TV games. The opening feature is a rivalry showdown, including Oh vs. Kobayashi, Tabuchi vs. Yamada, and Koji Yamamoto vs. Hiroshi Matsuoka. It's a very enjoyable read and a very nostalgic Weekly Baseball, so I highly recommend it.
