I purchased this item. It appears the previous owner used a Frixion marker to write in it, but it has been erased. Some areas are slightly visible. I used it for studying, but I did not write in it. As mentioned above, there may be some remaining marker marks or overlooked stains or folds. Also, there is some waviness on the top of the cover. Please consider this item, understanding that it is a used product. - Title: Small Steps to Learning Teaching Methods for Those Aiming to Become Japanese Teachers - Author: Sachiko Kubota - Publication Date: October 11, 2024 - ISBN: 978-4-88319-953-2 - Price: ¥2000 + tax Thank you for looking.
