The book has marks from the appendix, which was held in place with a rubber band. Also, although it is new and unused, it was displayed in a store, so there may be some minor damage. For shipping, the rubber band will be removed, and the book will be placed in a waterproof plastic bag for simple packaging, and sent via anonymous delivery. Basically, it will not be wrapped in cushioning material. If the thickness increases, the appendix box may be opened and the backing removed before shipping. Thank you for your understanding. I am also selling other books. #NICO'sBooks This is a rare and hard-to-find book, so the price is higher than the list price. Thank you for your understanding and acceptance.
