This item has been stored on my bookshelf for a long time. As you can see from the photos, there are signs of aging such as stains and peeling on the paper case and endpapers. However, the pages inside the book, including the color pages, are in good condition. It has a vinyl cover, and the obi (sleeve), sales card, and monthly report are still intact. I think it would be enjoyable for hobbies and education, and also useful as a reference for studying classics. It was published in 1972, so please understand this before purchasing. Thank you for looking.
