Thank you for viewing! (*ˊᵕˋ*) This item will be placed in a plastic bag and slightly compressed for shipping. The shipping carrier may be changed. Also, although it is new, it was displayed in a store, so there may be some fraying. If the price is written on the item, it will be cut off before packaging. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Thank you! I also have other Yoshitake Shinsuke picture books for sale #NICO'sYoshitakeShinsuke
