Condition: With obi. Purchased new and read with a cover, so there are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there are some minor folds mainly on the top of the cover (the obi on the back also has some slight damage). Also, there is some slight sebum staining on the bottom edge of the book (it did not come off even after lightly rubbing with alcohol). Content: The shocking content is that our bodies are just vehicles for genes (replicators) to survive, but it says that only intelligent humans can stand up to the control of those selfish genes, so there is no need to despair. Also, in the second half, you will be even more surprised by the incredible story that genes can manipulate not only individual organisms but also the surrounding environment, but it was an interesting read. Notes: The thickness is about 3.5cm, which is just barely able to pass through a post, so it will be simply packaged without bubble wrap. If you are concerned about damage during transportation, you can change to bubble wrap packaging & Takkyubin Compact (or Yu-Packet Plus) for an additional 300 yen, so please let me know before purchasing. ■ No price negotiations. Anonymous and same-day shipping is possible (however, shipping is not possible on rainy days, from around 4 pm to the morning). Recycled packaging materials may be used.
