I have purchased and read the new book once. There may be initial scratches, scuffs, and creases, as well as the characteristic warping, creasing, corner bends, and printing misalignments of new books. Please consider this item only if you understand that it is a used item stored by a private individual, and that there may be oversights. I apologize to those who are sensitive to such issues or who are looking for a pristine item, but please refrain from purchasing. Thank you.
