I roughly sanded it down with sandpaper. There are signs of tanning and scuffing. The obi is tanned. I don't see any writing, but there might be oversights. The book itself has no opening creases and is relatively clean, so it should be fine for reading, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The sanded areas are: The bottom edge (bottom surface) in photo 5. The endpaper section after turning the cover page in photo 8. A total of 2 locations. Photos 10 and 11 show the table of contents. It will be shipped via Nekoposu with simple packaging. Please do not negotiate the price.
