I purchased this book new at a bookstore. I read it once to use for a book report, and then stored it on my bookshelf. The cover has minor scratches and creases, but the inside is in good condition. Please understand that this is a used item stored at home before purchasing. This is a unique children's picture book with the theme of a mother's instruction manual. - Title: Mother's Instruction Manual - Author: Miku Ito - Illustrator: Makiko Sato - ISBN: 9784649202331 - Price: 1200 yen Thank you for looking. #Mother'sInstructionManual #MikuIto
