This is the item in the images. First edition published in April 1996. I purchased this about 20 years ago at a used bookstore in Kanda, Tokyo, at the premium price of the time. From the time of purchase, there was paper yellowing and discoloration due to aging (images 5 and 8), and the cover spine was sun-faded, so I stored it in a dark place. However, the condition is below average. (Personally, I think it's slightly below average for a 30-year-old book, but if you are concerned about the condition, please consider it as below average.) Please check the condition in the images. There are no major damages that would hinder reading, so it is suitable for those who are okay with checking the contents as a general used book. Because it is a rare book, the price is higher than the list price, so please be aware of this when purchasing. Shipping will be by Nekopos (using a dedicated cardboard box). ※ I currently check the Mercari screen about 1-2 times a day, so I may not be able to respond to those in a hurry. Shipping will be within 3 days. (Book / Shoko Asahara)
