I purchased this book from a major used bookstore in Tokyo and have carefully stored it at home. The outer slipcase shows noticeable yellowing due to being nearly 40 years old, but the double slipcase and the book itself are in excellent condition, appearing to be in very good condition. Additionally, when I purchased the book, three newspaper clippings were inside the double slipcase. These articles report on the publication of this edition. I have left them in for your reference. Please refer to the attached photos for details on the condition of the book. It will be protected with a PP bag and cushioning material and shipped anonymously. In addition to this book, I am also selling CDs, books by Haruki Murakami and others, mainly novels and first editions, as well as tableware and women's clothing, so please take a look if you are interested.
