The Classical Japanese textbook is the 5th edition (list price: 900 yen, excluding tax), and the Classical Chinese textbook is the 4th edition (list price: 705 yen, excluding tax). I've looked through them three times, and as far as I can tell, there are no markings or stains, but I may have missed something. There is some scuffing and discoloration on the covers. Please understand that these books have been used by a child. I will also be listing a contemporary Japanese textbook from the same series. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
