I purchased this item new online and stored it with a clear book cover, which I removed for inspection. The yellowing of the pages often appears whiter than it actually is in photos. Furthermore, initial scratches and wear and tear from aging are difficult to capture in pictures. This is a used item. Please understand that there may be yellowing, scratches, and corner bends. We offer combined purchases of two books for 899 yen. We appreciate your understanding that this is a personally stored item inspected by an amateur. Thank you for your purchase.
