Purchased over 20 years ago. There is some discoloration and sun fading due to aging, and a small stain on the spine of the case (see image 7). Please check the images for the condition of the item. Please understand that this item has been stored at home and has been inspected by an amateur. I am also selling other calligraphy-related books and tools. I offer combined shipping discounts, so please comment if you are interested.
