This is my first time reading the Heart Sutra. I've read it about twice. It has a dust jacket. There are some minor scratches on the cover. The text itself is clean. The paper clip in the photo is not included. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition, as this is a used item and has been stored at home. I appreciate your understanding. Please do not ask for reservations or holds. I am using a PC and cannot respond to price negotiations. This item may be removed from sale without notice if it is sold elsewhere. Thank you for your understanding.
