This is a case only, purchased from Hobonichi at the time of release and stored in a dark place with a book inside. Please read carefully before purchasing, as the book is not included. This is a valuable item that is no longer available, so I will sell it to someone who is looking for it. The stains are slightly visible in the 5th and 6th photos. The 7th photo shows some scratches that are only visible when held up to the light. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about further minor details. Immediate purchase is welcome. Please refrain from price negotiations. junaida Michi
